- GoofsIn the radio alert, they say that Stryker was 6' 1" tall, but at that time (assuming this is not set in Earth's future), the height limit for astronauts was 5' 11", assumedly so they would fit into the confined spaces. This has subsequently been changed to 6' 4".

Not Great, Just Another Dumb Sci-fi Pilot
In this TV movie/failed pilot, Glenn Corbett is an astronaut who winds up on the wrong planet. While the details are right, down to Plymouth autos and the bad guys wearing black turtlenecks and double-breasted jackets, there are three moons and the whole world has been a totalitarian state for thirty years. Naturally they want to study him, but he breaks out of the hospital they're keeping him in and tries to figure out how to get. Back to Earth. Along the way, he involves Sharon Ackerman and Lew Ayres, and is pursued by implacable Cameron Mitchell.
It' was clearly intended to be a FUGITIVE sort of show, in which each week he would run across another poor shlub whose life he would ruin in his quest to get home before the IRS came after him. Production costs would be kept down because the world he was on looked exactly like California, as the folks on Mystery Science 3000 kept pointing out. While it's not as bad as it's appearance on that show might indicate, it's very cheap and obvious.
