What happens

Saturn 3 is a 1980 British science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Donen, starring Farrah Fawcett, Kirk Douglas and Harvey Keitel. The screenplay was written by Martin Amis, from a story by John Barry. Though a British production, made by Lew Grade's ITC Entertainment and shot at Shepperton Studios, the film has an American cast and director. Saturn 3 was a box office bomb and earned largely negative reviews. Keitel's biographer called the film the "nadir of his career". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
