An original Australian Daybill poster for the 1969 release of “Marooned”

An American science fiction film directed by John Sturges and starring Gregory Peck, Richard Crenna, David Janssen and Gene Hackman about three astronauts who are trapped and slowly suffocating in space.

The film was released less than four months after the Apollo 11 Moon landing, attracting enormous public attention. It won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for Robie Robertson.

After spending several months in an orbiting lab, three astronauts prepare to return to earth only to find their rockets won't fire. After initially thinking they might have to abandon them in orbit, NASA decides to launch a daring rescue.

Their plans are complicated by a hurricane headed towards the launch site and a shrinking air supply in the astronauts capsule.

"Three marooned astronauts. And only 55 minutes left to rescue them. While the whole world watches and waits …".
