Apr 18, 2022 · Starflight One is far too languid in its tension-building to approach the level of popular space fantasy of the time. That, though, was not the goal.

John Dykstra, who came up with the ships for Star Wars and Firefox, was the one who designed Starflight One; the plane, while not believable, still looks very good. Also, Lalo Schifferin's score was very good and dramatic. Review by coventry_2k from the Internet Movie Database.
