“The Flight Of The Phoenix” is a great old-style Hollywood movie. A plane crashes in the African desert and the crew and passengers have to find a way to get home. Exactly the kind of movie Roddenberry would have been thinking of when he pitched TOS.

That’s a good one, and also the first thing I thought of.

There’s also a remake that’s not bad that features Hugh Laurie using his native accent.

Star Trek TOS episode ‘Balance of Terror’ is basically an updated submarine movie.

That’s not a put down. They had to teach people how to watch science fiction.

Gorgeous. I would love to get that printed poster-sized and framed for my office.

I tried to find out more about the guy who made it but he hasn’t posted to BBS since 2020, has a suspended reddit account, and a deleted Twitter.

I have to imagine someone that trekkish is at least familiar with Our Website so fingers crossed someone might know him because I would totally get one of these too.

If you manage to contact him, get him to correct the several misspellings of "separation".
