Capricorn One (1978) - Imprint Collection #355

An audience favourite, Capricorn One was the most successful independent film of 1978, presenting the story of a manned mission to Mars which was faked, and the crew who realise their survival will expose the hoax.

Starring Elliott Gould, James Brolin, Brenda Vaccaro, O.J. Simpson and Karen Black, this action-thriller was written and directed by Peter Hyams (2010: The Year We Make Contact), with a score by Jerry Goldsmith.

The whole world is watching the first manned flight to Mars, whilst its three astronauts are plunged into a hair-raising battle for survival, within a clandestine operation involving intrigue and murder.

This Limited Edition 2-Disc Hardbox includes both the original Theatrical Cut and the rarely-seen 129-minute Extended Cut, both in high-definition.

"Considering how little love that Capricorn One has received on home video up to this point, that’s a pretty impressive slate of extras. ... The inclusion of the extended Japanese cut is worth the price of admission alone. ... This is still the true special edition release of Capricorn One that we’ve always wanted but never received prior to this point. It’s a must-own for Capricorn One fans, Peter Hyams fans, and fans of paranoia thrillers in general." - The Digital Bits
