Although technically superior to STAR WARS; STAR TREK; and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, THE BLACK HOLE failed to gather anything near the gross receipts of those films. Disney pictures have always had a patina of professionalism about them, and this is no exception. Sometime in the
future, five people in a spaceship encounter a Black Hole. Before attempting to flee, they see a spaceship near the Black Hole's entrance. They discover upon boarding the ship that it is manned by robots with one human, Schell, running things. Schell is a genius but somewhat bonkers, and he plans
to go into the Black Hole because he feels that is where all matter and energy begin....
