Marooned (1969)

In the vast, unforgiving void of space, three brave astronauts - Jim Pruitt, Clayton Stone, and Buzz Lloyd - find themselves trapped in an orbiting laboratory. Having spent five out of their seven-month mission, they are unexpectedly commanded by Charles Keith, the stern head of their space program, to return to Earth. However, their hope of a safe return evaporates when their retro-rockets fail to ignite. With a dwindling supply of oxygen that amounts to a mere 42 hours, a desperate race against time ensues. Back on Earth, Keith and the team at NASA scramble relentlessly to figure out a solution to rescue the marooned astronauts. The stakes escalate as the only viable solution proposed by Ted Dougherty is fraught with danger - a daring rescue mission using an unproven experimental spacecraft, one that has not been declared fit for manned flight. As if the situation wasn't calamitous enough, a menacing hurricane barrels towards their launch site, threatening to further derail their rescue plans. Meanwhile, stranded in their celestial prison, the astronauts grapple with the terrifying reality of their predicament. The oxygen supply is not sufficient for all three of them, forcing them to confront an unthinkable decision. But even in the face of bleak despair, unexpected help emerges, offering a glimmer of hope for survival. "Marooned" is a heart-pounding journey that explores the chilling realities of space exploration while testing the limits of human courage, ingenuity, and the will to survive against all odds.

Marooned is an adventure movie featuring Gregory Peck and directed by John Sturges.
