When the first manned mission to Mars is scrubbed, NASA leads a deep state conspiracy to fake it. Intrepid journalist Elliott Gould investigates while mission astronauts James Brolin, Sam Waterston and O.J. Simpson try to escape. It's pretty dated and rather tainted in the current era by how much its absurd conceit sounds like something QAnon followers would actually believe. The most interesting part, the coverup, was handled much more cleverly in the wonderful Wag the Dog.
