For the first time ever, Disney’s fabled science-fiction adventure The Black Hole comes to Disney DVD. Available on August 3, The Black Hole includes a special featurette on this stellar epic, as well as the original extended trailer for the film. In the spirit of Disney’s “Tron” and “Flight of the Navigator,” The Black Hole is family adventure at its finest. In The Black Hole, the explorer craft U.S.S. Palomino is returning to earth after a fruitless 18-month search for extraterrestrial life when the crew comes upon a supposedly lost ship, the magnificent U.S.S. Cygnus, hovering near a Black Hole. The crew's admiration for Cygnus commander Dr. Hans Reinhardt turns to horror when they discover he and his monstrous robot companion, Maximillian, plan to turn his crew into robots and fly through the Hole. As they try to escape, a meteorite shower damages the ship, and the survivors hang on as they are plunged into the most powerful force in the universe, heading toward whatever eternity awaits them. The cast of The Black Hole features Maximilian Schell; Anthony Perkins; Robert Forster; Joseph Bottoms; Yvette Mimieux; Ernest Borgnine; Tommy McLoughlin; Roddy McDowall; Slim Pickens. Written by Bob Barbash; Gerry Day; Richard H. Landau; Jeb Rosebrook. Directed by Frank Phillips; Gary Nelson.
