This pulse-pounding conspiracy thriller takes aim at the ultimate cover-up: a faked Mars landing. Just before launch, three astronauts (James Brolin, Sam Waterston, O.J. Simpson) are whisked away to a secret location, where they learn the shocking truth-NASA's mission is all smoke and mirrors, designed to save the agency's crumbling reputation. Forced to play along, the astronauts fake the landing while a relentless journalist (Elliott Gould) starts sniffing around the cracks in the story. What follows is a gripping chase through a desert of lies, where betrayal lurks behind every corner and the stakes are sky-high.
