Released in 1978, Capricorn One is the fictional story of a failed NASA mission to Mars and the subsequent cover-up.
Capricorn One obviously follows on the heels of the urban legend that the original moon landing was a hoax.
The methods of faking the landing are similar to those said to exist in the moon landing "hoax": a sound stage in the middle of a desert with a realistic dust-and-rock landscape, a mock landing module, and astronauts bouncing around in slow motion to simulate lesser gravity.
