Actress Barbara Bain, star of the British sci-fi series "Space: 1999", is preparing to board an upcoming documentary about the Eagle, the famed spacecraft at the heart of the show that ran from 1975-77.

Bain will appear in The Eagle Has Landed alongside several other notable figures: Apollo XVI astronaut Charles Duke Jr., Academy Award-winning visual effects artist Bill George (Blade Runner, Star Trek), and Brian Johnson, the VFX artist on "Space: 1999" whose work is said to have influenced Star Wars.

The film is being directed and produced by Jeffrey Morris, who also hosts the documentary.

The new documentary “explores the cross-generational impact of the iconic vessel” in the series that also starred Martin Landau.

According to a press release, the film “showcases never-before-seen archival footage” and will be released in time for the 50th anniversary of "Space: 1999’s" debut, in 2025.

“Space: 1999 appeared on TV a few short years after the world watched Neil Armstrong take the first steps on the moon,” Morris noted in a statement.

“The show’s unforgettable Eagle inspired a generation to envision a future in space and is still doing so decades later. The question we explore is ‘why?’ What is it about this imaginary craft that has captured and held imaginations for nearly 50 years?”
