This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I am among the group who recall this series. I enjoyed it whenever I could watch it, and one particular episode stands out in my memory.This one involved three men wearing a type of space suit in the California Desert ? anyway, they were walking from one point to another point as the test required, and something went wrong ( ? ) not sure what, and If I recall, they had some sort of gun like weapon(? ) to test as well. Anyway, I remember there were cars along the highway and telephone poles. and I am quite sure it wasn't a Twilght Zone episode..wish i could recall more, but I am amazed I remember this much..Dave Durham Tacoma WA.

At the age of eight, this was one of my favorite shows. I liked that the protagonist had to demonstrate ingenuity in a variety of, sometimes unexpected. circumstances. A memorable scene for me is when he took an elevator only to have the apparatus fail and the elevator plunge precipitously downward. Not to worry... our man jumped up and grabbed the light fixture on the ceiling of the elevator car and lifted himself up. When the elevator hit bottom he was able to absorb some of the impact by holding himself close to the ceiling. There's been many a time I've looked around an elevator to see what "I" could hold onto in the event of a similar calamity!

So glad to find others who loved this show, too. No one I ever asked remembered the show. I found it inspiring as well. I was all psyched by science and space, too, and at the time wanted to be "the first woman geologist on the moon." I understand that position has not been filled, but I probably won't make it now ;-) I was in a science club in Niagara Falls, where Bell Labs tested their rocket belt. We were scheduled to see one of those tests, although I think the day we went it was postponed and we missed it.Kudos to all of you who went on to pursue your dreams. Mine changed to the field of psychology, and I now work with adults who have AD(H)D as a coach. Many people who have ADD are the very ones who have become the adventurers and entrepreneurs, etc., who make a difference in the world and inspire us. It is very gratifying work.

My precocious cousin and I were avid watchers of this Friday (?) night show. The space programme was in its enthusiastic first blush, and was undoubtedly the inspiration for the series. I believe that my cousin turned to a lot of physical self-punishment under the inspiration of THE MAN AND THE CHALLENGE (younger and reckless at 12) to show that he too could "take it." It was from the series that I learned the term "human factors research." I was going to be a scientist, then.Thinking back, however, I can see why the show was so short-lived. Some of the adventures were definitely contrived -- working from 40 years' memory -- and there were not enough interesting principals, even the hero. One could not delve TOO much into the science, and at bottom it had little mass appeal.
