Women on Top: Legacies of Women in Global Cinema
Lavishly crafted and brimming with ambitious ideas, The Black Hole is an early classic of the sci-fi, special effects spectacle film.
In the future, a spaceship dubbed the USS Palomino is on its way back to Earth when it discovers another ship that had been assumed missing, the USS Cygnus. Kate McCrae (Yvette Mimieux), a scientist aboard the Palomino, learns that it's the same ship upon which her father had served as a crew member. When the Palomino's crew boards the Cygnus, they are met by Dr. Reindhardt (Maximilian Schell) and a bizarre, faceless army who plan to be the first people ever to explore a black hole. [97 mins; sci-fi; English]

"Disney craftsmen doing what they do best on a grand and risky scale." — Richard Schickel, Time Magazine
"It cost half as much as Star Trek and looks better—not as lavish, perhaps, but more original. The special effects are fancy, and the design even more so." — Janet Maslin, The New York Times
