Unidentified Flying Oddball

1979 · 1h 33m · Comedy, Science Fiction, Family

Skip it. This 1979 Disney oddity sounds like it's trying to be a quirky family romp, but the premise—time-traveling astronauts meet King Arthur with a robot sidekick—lands somewhere between campy curiosity and genuine slog. Unless you're specifically hunting for obscure '70s sci-fi cheese, your time is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

A NASA spacecraft proves Einstein right when, traveling faster than light, it ends up near King Arthur's Camelot. On board are big-hearted Tom Trimble and Hermes, the look-alike robot he built. Tom immediately makes friends with pretty Alisande while becoming enemies with the evil knight Sir Mordred. It seems Mordred has joined up with the Sorcerer Merlin and they are both up to no good. It is now up to Tom to try and use 20th century technology to foil their plans.
