Viewing Notes
Not sure I ever saw this TV movie but a lot of seems familiar. Has an amazing cast for a TV movie but that’s how it was back in those days. I admire it for that despite being overly long which saps much of the tension. Still great to see all these actors sharing scenes. The outer space shots are pretty funny since they look like a studio set. I love Lee Majors. He was man at the time.
