NASA feigns a Mars landing using a real (empty) space shuttle, Capricorn One, sent into space, and its three astronauts, Brubaker, Willis and Walker, filmed on a soundstage at an Air Force base. When the shuttle burns up on re-entry, Brubaker and his men, realizing now NASA will have to produce three corpses to make the hoax complete, escape from the base and are pursued by the government that betrayed them.
