Marooned

Three marooned astronauts. Only 55 minutes left to rescue them. While the whole world watches and waits...

After spending several months in an orbiting lab, three astronauts prepare to return to Earth only to find their de-orbit thrusters won't activate. After initially thinking they might have to abandon them in orbit, NASA decides to launch a daring rescue. Their plans are complicated by a hurricane headed towards the launch site—and a shrinking air supply in the astronauts' capsule.

When men were men and women were Nancy Kovak

"Marooned" is a surprisingly great film that I hadn't heard about. This 1969 movie came just before the Moon landing. It has great special effects for the time, still mostly tolerable now. It has a moderate amount of "Hollywooding", not the extreme amount you get in more modern films like "Moonfall" or "Armageddon".

Gender roles are traditional. Yet, the characters are not unrealistic ideals but rather flawed in ways that makes us remember they are only human.

For "Star Trek" nerds, note that two of the three astronauts' wives appeared in episodes of the original series. Nancy Kovak played Nora in "A Private Little War" and Mariette Hartley played Zarabeth in "All Our Yesterdays".

The premise is that these astronauts are in space for a very long period as research/training for the impending interplanetary missions. Poignantly, these still haven't occurred in reality. The film explores the psychological effects of extended time in space and low oxygen levels, as their long mission becomes even longer than expected.

Give it a try. I think you can be forgiving of the primitive special effects, given the lack of wokeness.
