The crew of the spaceship Palamino stumbles across the ''lost'' ship U.S.S. Cygnus, hovering on the edge of an immense black hole. Once aboard, they find the ship is manned by robots - it's only human inhabitant, one Dr. Hans Reinhardt; an eminent scientist, missing for the past twenty years. His plan - to enter the Black Hole . . . Whether Dr. Reinhardt is a genius or a mad-man, one thing is for sure, he will not be denied his life's dream. What lies beyond the Black Hole? Immortality . . . or, Oblivion . . . ?

Disney's first PG-rated movie.

Dr. Hans Reinhardt:
Something caused all this. But what caused... that cause?

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The doctor talks about sending probes beyond the event horizon and then having them return. By definition, it is impossible to return from beyond the event horizon, though since this was the mission of the ship and the point of the study, we'll allow it under the faster-than-light/time-travel exception clause.
