'''''Capricorn One''''' is a [[The Seventies|1978 film]] [[Inspired By]] the [[Conspiracy Theories|moon landing conspiracy theories]]. Astronauts Charles Brubaker, Peter Willis and John Walker are the crew for the first manned mission to [[The Red Planet|Mars]], [[Title Drop|Capricorn One]]. Except they're not. A poorly-made life-support system that would have killed the astronauts three weeks into their trip means they'll have to fake it, as [[Obstructive Bureaucrat|Congress can't afford another screw up]]. The crew are taken to a remote Air Force base where they [[I Have Your Wife|are forced]] to act out the Mars landing in a studio for the benefit of television cameras.
Elliot Whitter, one of the technicians at mission control notices something strange, that the television signals are being transmitted ahead of the telemetry and tells his reporter friend [[Intrepid Reporter|Robert Caulfield]]. But Elliot [[Killed to Uphold the Masquerade|is killed]] and he's been made an [[Unperson]]. Then when Caulfield interviews Brubaker's wife, her reaction to [[Something They Would Never Say|something strange Brubaker said]] helps him realize there's some sort of [[Government Conspiracy]] at work.
Line 16:
* [[He Knows Too Much]]
* [[Something They Would Never Say]]: This is what leads Caulfield to think something is up.
