...film's title refers to a NASA mission to send a trio of astronauts (James Brolin, O.J. Simpson, Sam Waterston -don't you love it?) to Mars. Unfortunately for the astronauts, NASA is headed by a devilish schemer (Hal Holbrook) who decides to fake the Mars landing in a TV studio rather than risk failure and a cutoff of appropriations. Predictably, the mad scientist's plans go wrong, wrong, wrong. Capricorn One turns into a vivid chase involving NASA henchmen, an investigative reporter (Elliott Gould), a crop-dusting pilot (Telly Savalas) and a couple of bloodsucking desert...
...horse, only modern horse power gone loco. Driverless, with a diabolical will of its own, it invades a Utah town and mows down a bicycling couple, the sheriff and a passel of deputies and a pert young teacher. Among the other victims: plot, dialogue and characterization. Deputy Sheriff James Brolin leads the counterattack, but it is an unequal contest: the car steals all the scenes. The ancient nightmare of machines turning against their masters has in recent years become something of a staple of made-for-TV movies. This model offers nothing new. It seems headed for the summer drive...
...Being an astronaut takes concentration and patience, and it can be tedious-just like football,"says O.J. Simpson, 29, who ought to know.

"I could never be a real astronaut and sit in that tiny capsule for days," declares the Juice. "I have too much energy." He likes acting though, and plans to try it full time when he retires from...
...herself. These qualities, once so readily found in American movies, have now vanished. A cloddish script slams at us single-entendre jokes about sex. Doltish direction hammers them home with the sweaty desperation of a bad nightclub comic whose act is dying. The stars were discovered on television. James Brolin, who plays the young doctor on Marcus Welby, gives a congealed imitation of Gable, not an interpretation. Jill Clayburgh, who was spotted on Hustling, a made-for-television movie, is driven into a frenzied impersonation not of Lom bard but of at least six actresses in search of an author...
...Nicholas Hammond); a teeny-bopper (Susan Dey); a young wife on the verge of giving birth (Mariette Hartley); the head stewardess (Yvette Mimieux), once in love with the captain (Charlton Heston), now carrying on with the copilot (Mike Henry); and a certain Sergeant Jerome K. Weber (James Brolin), a bug-eyed benny popper who swills brandy, talks crazy and keeps clutching at a large black satchel stashed under his seat. One among these is a skyjacker. Guess...
