A big-budget, all-star, action-packed thrill ride of the post-Watergate '70s, this is packed with the sort of cynicism you just don't find in movies today. Though the plotting won't bear too close an examination, this moves along so quickly that you'll hardly notice the contrivances.

Another film that viewers need to keep in mind, is a product of its time. That said, this film contains a stellar cast and story.

Superficially pandering to conspiracy theorists, Hyam's straight-faced mockery of such theories is his film's greatest asset. The main conspiracy is comically overdone and a central speech directly references technology's role in the ubiquity of modern conspiracy theories - "you could get anyone to believe anything" indeed. However, there are major narrative issues - the comic relief is incredibly annoying and the entire subplot involving Elliot Gould's investigative journalist feels half-baked.

Movies like this are the reason I don't join the Peter-Hyams-bashing so common on the net these days. Goofy, fun movie about a faked Mars landing featuring a host of stars whose careers were all about to die at about the same time

Highly implausible but ultra fun flick. Tension never lets up until Telly Savalas appears. Then I just want to b-slap my TV.

Pretty cool premise takes too long to get going and takes to long to reach the denoument. The whole film just TAKES TOO LONG.
