An Earth exploratory ship, the ''USS Palomino'', discovers a black hole with a lost ship, the ''USS Cygnus'', somehow defying its gravity and hovering just outside its event horizon. Setting off to solve the mystery of the Cygnus are: the Palomino's Captain, Dan Holland (Robert Forster); his First Officer, Lieutenant Charlie Pizer (Joseph Bottoms); journalist Harry Booth (Ernest Borgnine); ESP-sensitive scientist Dr. Kate McCrae (Yvette Mimieux); Dr. Alex Durant (Anthony Perkins), the expedition's civilian leader; and the robot V.I.N.CENT ("'''V'''ital '''I'''nformation '''N'''ecessary '''CENT'''ralized"). The Palomino attempts a dangerous fly-by of the ship, which is dark and apparently derelict. As they come within close range of it, the buffeting they experience due to the black hole's gravity suddenly ceases. They bring more instruments to bear on the ship, but do not realize the gravity-free zone is artificial and limited; slipping outside it, they are almost drawn into the hole.
