Set in the 22nd century, when a battered salvage ship sends out a distress signal, the seasoned crew of the rescue hospital ship Nova-17 responds. What they find is a black hole--that threatens to destroy both ships--and a mysterious survivor whose body quickly mutates into a monstrous and deadly form.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Walter Hill had his name removed (replaced with 'Thomas Lee') after MGM rejected his cut. Coppola and Jack Sholder also did uncredited reshoots.
This bombed so hard it helped kill off the late-90s 'horror in space' boom that Event Horizon started. Thanks, Supernova.
