Solar Crisis
Sci-FiThriller112 min
As a massive solar flare threatens to scorch Earth, the crew of the spaceship Helios is sent toward the sun with a desperate assignment: place a bomb at exactly the right moment so the eruption is deflected away from the planet. Tim Matheson and Charlton Heston are among the mission’s central figures as the plan narrows to timing, distance, and survival in deep space. One added complication sits at the heart of the payload itself: the device is equipped with an artificial intelligence and carries a Japanese pilot, turning the operation into a high-stakes contest between human judgment and machine control.
