    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The astronaut 'Guy Taylor" is suffering from severe Hypoxia (Oxygen starvation). Three of the main symptoms of this are confusion, disorientation and acute behavioral change. Brain function can become impaired making it difficult to pay attention, making irrational decisions with poor judgment. After consultation the production team decided to go with these traits of the illness for the character from the moment he wakes up after blacking out. Taking him out of the environment he would normally have complete control of during his test pilot days and throwing him into an environment with little to no oxygen and see his character change from the consummate professional to someone barely holding it together on to the edge of his life.

      Hypoxia can also cause severe headaches and hallucinations, seeing and believing things are real that aren't there.
    • Goofs
      The Johnson Space Center (aka Houston Control) was opened for business in late 1963, nearly 5 years after the setting of the film. The control centers at Cape Canaveral, Florida or Langley, Virginia would have been the US contact points for any craft that was orbiting the Earth prior to 1963, as "Houston" did not exist.
    • Crazy credits
      The credits end with, "No astronauts were harmed in the making of this movie."

    Wake up guy!
    I'm gonna give this movie a 7 out of 10. I've never really heard about this story before. I was pleased to find out it was based on true events, although I'm not sure exactly how loosely based it was.

    What a roller coaster ride this was. Edmund Kingsley did a phenomenal job of capturing his role and making you feel as if you were right there with him. Just when you thought there was gonna be a horrible ending to a good movie, there's a twist that you may or may not have seen coming. I know I sure didn't. Good watch that I could see myself watching again
