Deep in space, a research craft encounters a near-deserted spaceship perched on the edge of a black hole, a dense patch of matter which is one of the Universe's great mysteries. On board the ship is a long-lost scientist who has a desire to see what lies on the other side of the black hole - and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. Anthony Perkins, Joseph Bottoms, Ernest Borgnine, Maximilian Schell and Yvette Mimieux star in Disney's attempt to rival the success of 'Star Wars'.

Additional InformationA space crew travelling the cosmos runs into a long-missing craft, manned by Dr. Hans Reinhardt. Upon meeting Reinhardt, the astronauts discover that he is not only insane, but steadfast in his efforts to travel through a nearby "black hole", an abyss from which no one can escape. Matters worsen when Reinhardt holds the crew captive, after realizing that they can help him reach his goal. The squad must now figure out a way to flee from Reinhardt -- before it's too late... This attempt to gain a piece of the 'Star Wars' audience was also Disney's entry into the world of the PG rating. The film, not a huge success in 1979, has since gained a cult following due to its ominous tone and innovative visual design and effects.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...The special effects are fancy, and the design even more so....As comic books go, this one is pretty much a page-turner.

  • Great features.

    Good film to watch, not for younger viewers unless with an adult sat by, as some scary bits might give nightmares.

  • Revisiting my childhood

    Haven't watched this film since i was a child, it really caught my imagination then ( although i was dissatisfied with the dodgy ending). Well worth another visit, the great soundtrack helps to engender a feeling of brooding menace. Definitely adding this to my dvd collection, even the ending was better than I had thought.

  • Black hole

    Okay it’s visual effects have dated but it’s the best and darkest of any of the Disney films in my opinion, Maximilian Schell is perfectly cast as Dr Hans Reinhardt

  • Fabulous film

    Fabulous sy-fi film. Brilliant cast of actors all work together. Plenty of excitement and tension between the characters. I actually found myself thinking who was going to be next. Well for that answer you will have to watch the movie.
