The Eagle Has Landed

Jeffrey Morris delivers a beautifully scripted and visually striking documentary that takes viewers on a global journey to meet sci-fi actors, real astronauts, and creative minds from around the world.

With a generous budget that enables filming across multiple countries-no cheap Zoom calls here - the production quality is consistently high. Morris's passion for the subject shines through from start to finish, and the film often carries a cinematic flair that reflects his own creative background.

Using SPACE:1999 as its thematic anchor, the documentary explores humanity's fascination with space through both adult and childlike lenses. It features compelling interviews with Nick Tate, the iconic pilot of the Eagle transporter, and the Eagle creator Brian Johnson, the Academy Award-winning special effects designer behind Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Thunderbirds, and Alien.

The film also ventures into other sci-fi universes, including a segment with William Shatner on a recreated set of the original Star Trek Enterprise.

It's a joy to witness the passion of so many contributors and to see how sci-fi inspired countless individuals to pursue careers in science, medicine, and the arts-such as Barbara Bain, who portrayed the female Dr. Helena Russell on Moon Base Alpha in the early 70s.
