About This Movie

The Black Hole is a 1979 adventure and science fiction film directed by Gary Nelson. Its leading cast includes Maximilian Schell, Anthony Perkins and Robert Forster. It runs for 1 hour 38 minutes.

Synopsis

The explorer craft USS Palomino is returning to Earth after a fruitless 18-month search for extra-terrestrial life when the crew comes upon a supposedly lost ship, the USS Cygnus, hovering near a black hole. The ship is controlled by Dr. Hans Reinhardt and his monstrous robot companion, but the initial wonderment and awe the Palomino crew feel for the ship and its resistance to the power of the black hole turn to horror as they uncover Reinhardt's plans.
