In 1979's METEOR, a newly discovered comet smashes into the asteroid belt, knocking a giant asteroid chunk, as well as other fragments, out of orbit and placing them on a collision course with Earth. The film had an all-star cast, headed by Sean Connery as esteemed space scientist "Dr. Paul Bradley" and Karl Malden as NASA chief "Harry Sherwood." Joseph Campanella played "General Easton." Director Ronald Neame was selected for his experience helming another disaster picture, THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (1972). Laurence Rosenthal's score was most recently released by Intrada in 2014.

In the 1980 sci-fi thriller HANGER 18, a space shuttle mission with astronauts "Steve Bancroft" (Gary Collins), "Lew Price" (James Hampton), and "Judd Gates" (J.R. Clark) goes awry when the shuttle collides with a UFO. There's a huge explosion, astronaut Gates is ghoulishly decapitated, and the flying saucer makes a controlled crash landing in Bannon County, Texas. White House Chief of Staff "Gordon Cain" (Robert Vaughn), conspires with "Gen. Morrison" (Philip Abbott) and "Frank Lafferty" (Joseph Campanella), concerned that the President, campaigning for a second-term with the election but two weeks away, could suffer politically if word of the saucer landing were made public. James L. Conway directed the film, which has an unreleased score by John Cacavas.
