The Black Hole
A journey that begins where everything ends.
Directed by Gary Nelson
Produced by Walt Disney Productions
A visually ambitious sci-fi thriller that pivots from wonder to dread as a rescue mission uncovers a mad scientist's sinister designs aboard a ghost ship at the edge of a black hole.
The explorer craft USS Palomino is returning to Earth after a fruitless 18-month search for extra-terrestrial life when the crew comes upon a supposedly lost ship, the USS Cygnus, hovering near a black hole. The ship is controlled by Dr. Hans Reinhardt and his monstrous robot companion, but the initial wonderment and awe the Palomino crew feel for the ship and its resistance to the power of the black hole turn to horror as they uncover Reinhardt's plans.
