Marooned
Marooned is a 1969 film directed by John Sturges and starring Gregory Peck, Richard Crenna, David Janssen, James Franciscus, and Gene Hackman.
The film was released only four months after the Apollo 11 moon landing and is tied to the topical public fascination with the event. It won the Academy Award for Visual Effects.
Marooned was based on the 1964 novel “Marooned” by Martin Caidin; however, while the original novel was based on the single-pilot Mercury program, the film depicted a space station program resembling Skylab. Caidin rewrote the novel, incorporating appropriate material from the original version and updating it to follow the film.
