The first couple of minutes of Capricorn One feel rather tedious, but the rest of this suspenseful conspiracy film classic is quite enjoyable. The cast is a great collection of more or less second-rate actors, including a brief but memorable turn by Telly Savalas. During its latter half, the movie turns into an incredibly exciting chase flick taking place in a secluded desert and involving a breathtaking aerial climax. Special mention must be made of Jerry Goldsmith's fantastically effective score.
