In the year 2130 the spaceship USS Palomino has been sent to investigate a ship, the Cygnus, on the event horizon of a black hole.

The crew of the Palomino: Dan Holland (Robert Forster), Charlie Pizer (Joseph Bottoms), Harry Booth (Ernest Borgnine), Dr. Alex Durant (Anthony Perkins), and Kate McCrae (Yvette Mimieux), along with V.
