Blindpassasjer

Lien

Blindpassasjer is a sci-fi about five astronauts turning back to Earth from their mission to the planet Rossum. The space ship - called Marco Polo (not so original) - continues its silent journey through space through the auto-pilot, while the crew are in a deep sleep.
All of a sudden we - the viewers - see a strange human-like creature on the surveillance screens, shutting them down, one by one. The camera focuses on them while we can't see what's happening 'behind us', among the crew members, still asleep, although we hear that someone is entering the room, doing something... but what?
When they wake up they slowly become aware of having a stowaway on the ship and now they have to find him or her.
The situation becomes even more severe when they realize that this 'creature' is not the sixth individual aboard but actually has taken over the life of one of the crew members.
Who has been killed, replaced by a copy?
Their commander on Earth urge them to go about with the mission to find the intruder as quickly as possible, as he has sent a missile towards their ship, hitting them before reaching Earth - if not the 'imposter' is found.

This Norwegian TV-series is made in the same way as many popular 1970's sci-fi stories but even though the technical part not always impresses and one uses some clichés, it's quite a thrilling story with a somewhat forseeable end, at least according to me (Gunnar). Aurore thought the end surprising.

In the roles as the crew members we see: Henny Moan, Marit Østbye, Trini Lund, Bjørn Floberg
Ola B. Johannessen.
