Spaceship IC-1 hurtles toward a planet which can hopefully be colonized. When the wife of the ship's doctor (Linda Marlowe) comes down with a potentially fatal  pancreas ailment the Captain (Bill Williams)   refuses to turn back to Earth so she can be cured. He also declines to let her have a second child and she kills herself. This enrages her husband (John   Cairney) who thumps the Captain, locks him up and takes control of the ship. But not all the ship's crew supports this turn of events--will one of them release the Captain who has threatened to execute the doctor? Future star Mark Lester appears as a child in this fine    British sci-fi drama. DVD-R
