The Black Hole

A journey that begins where everything ends! The Black Hole is an audacious, gorgeously designed science fiction epic, featuring groundbreaking special effects, an all-star cast, a stirring John Barry score, and images and ideas that have stayed with a generation of filmgoers. A research vessel nearing the end of a mission to deep space discovers a long-lost ship dangerously stationed on the edge of a black hole, and tries to investigate the secrets of its strange commander and his mechanical crew. The first PG rated production from Disney, the film dazzles young viewers with cool gizmos, gadgets and robots while pulling in adults with a poetic tale of the mysteries of the universe.

“It is good to see the Disney craftsmen doing what they do best on such a grand and risky scale. If one has time for only one space opera this season, this is the one to choose.” – Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine

“If you like outer space, The Black Hole is the latest version of the next best thing to being there. Produced by the Disney studios, it cost half as much as Star Trek and looks better – not as lavish, perhaps, but more original. The special effects are fancy, and the design even more so.” – Janet Maslin, The New York Times
