Now, with the telescope's mirror badly flawed, Horizon follows their efforts to retrieve the science from this observatory in space and to plan a rescue package to restore its original planned performance. Can Nasa's engineers be trusted with 'big science' any more?

Starring
Kevin Costner
Judd Nelson
It is 1971 and the 'Groovers', five good-time college buddies, decide to go for broke on one last no-holds-barred trip across America before they fly to Vietnam. But bizarre adventures, weird characters and a car full of beer are not enough to banish the spectre of impending war.
Kevin Costner , whose directorial debut Dances with Wolves opens this week, takes the lead in this boisterous comedy adventure.
Written and directed by Kevin Reynolds
(Dances with Wolves is reviewed in Film 91 with Barry Norman tomorrow at
10.25pm. Kevin Costner is a guest on Wogan on Wednesday at 7.00pm) ● COVER STORY: page 23 ● FILMS: pages 29-36 ● CEEFAX SUBTITLES
