Movie Notes: Capricorn One
Yet another entry in the seventies sci-fi genre, this one is better than others, but not by much. The plot is based on a compelling premise — a manned mission to Mars is scrapped due to faulty engineering, so the powers that be decide to hoax the Mars landing on a sound stage. Yes, this sounds partly inspired by the conspiracy theories that the moon landing was hoaxed. And yeah, one of the astronauts is played by OJ Simpson, the one and the same — who some would say lives in a conspiracy theory of his own.
