Three astronauts are about to launch into space on the first mission to colonize Mars. But when a cascade of mechanical failure surfaces that would kill the three astronauts, UESC (United Earth Space Commission) removes them from Capricorn One's Saturn V launcher. To prevent a public outcry, UESC launches the capsule unmanned and requires the astronauts to film fake mission footage in a studio. However, the plan is compromised when an ambitious NASA correspondent discovers the conspiracy and the real spacecraft burns up on reentry. Facing capture and total extermination, the astronauts go on the run as the NASA correspondent rushes to rescue them.
