Oscar and Golden Globe-winner Robert Duvall ("Falling Down," "A Civil Action") and Oscar and Golden Globe-nominee James Caan ("The Godfather," "Misery") star in this science fiction thriller about the international race to put the first man on the moon. When an American lands and finds a wrecked Russian space ship, he begins a race against time, realizing that he must find shelter, or perish. Co-starring Michael Murphy ("Manhattan") and Ted Knight ("The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Too Close for Comfort").

Desperate to reach the moon first, NASA sends a man and shelter separately, one-way. He must find it to survive; he can't return until Apollo is ready.

When philosophical country/western singer Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes is "discovered" in the local lock-up by television talent coordinator Marcia Jeffries, she decided that Rhodes deserves a guest appearance on a TV variety show. The gangly, overly humble Rhodes is an instant sensation, and as he quickly ascends toward superstardom he attracts fans, sponsors and endorsement deals until he is the most powerful and influential entertainer on the airwaves. Beloved by his public audience, they would never believe that he has turned into a scheming, power-hungry manipulator with Machiavellian political aspirations. What Rhodes does not realize is that the higher the rise, the farther the fall; not only does he wind up losing his fame and fortune, but he also loses those who cared about him before his ego took control of his life.
