Set in the near future, SPACEFLIGHT IC-1 sees a world controlled by one powerful and computerized government, which handpicks passengers for a planet-colonizing mission on the basis of age, health, and intelligence. The crew is then sent into space with loyal party member Williams at the
helm. After a few weeks the crew begins to rebel against the cold, heartless, autocratic rule and eventually mutinies, re-establishing a humane, democratic, albeit small, society in search of a planet. Good idea, but an indifferent script and dull direction weigh the action and ideas down.
