Guy is an experienced British fighter pilot who is in command of Britain's first manned mission to space. He has trained for this for three years at the height of the Cold War and now he is alone in space with a malfunctioning capsule. He has limited contact with the UK, some unusual communication with the US and some unorthodox communication with Tyuratam deep in Soviet Russia. Who will help him? Will he make the right choice?
虽然影片在某些方面存在不足，但对于喜欢这类题材的观众来说还是值得一看的。
是难得 “下饭” 佳作，轻松诙谐风格、紧凑剧情，闲暇观影驱散疲惫，带来愉悦好心情，解压又惬意。
演员埃德蒙德·金斯利,丽莎·格林伍德,戴维·韦曼,奈吉尔·巴伯,吉尔·科雷林,迈克尔·寇特斯,约瑟芬·费洛斯,加里·赫伦对角色诠释入木三分，从细微肢体动作到表情神态变化，精准传递角色内心情绪，让人沉浸角色命运，感同身受。
遗憾的是，剧情架构稍显松散，多条线索并行时衔接不够紧密，致使故事连贯性受损，观影时偶尔会有 “断档” 之感。
特效场面令人叹为观止，每一帧画面都如同艺术品般精致。
