Apogee of Fear is the first science fiction film made in space. Filmed by Richard Garriott from a script and production elements he contracted from fantasy novelist Tracy Hickman, the film's principal photography was accomplished during Garriott's time aboard the International Space Station as a spaceflight participant on October 12, 2008.

Synopsis

The film starts with a faux preview for a non-existent movie, The Magnificent Five Plus One, which promotes cosmonauts Sergey Volkov, Yuri Lonchakov, Oleg Kononenko, and astronauts Michael Fincke and Greg Chamitoff as the stars of the never-to-be-made film. Richard Garriott is billed as 'The Gunfight Participant' – a satirical nod to his official status as a 'Spaceflight Participant.' These six were all the crew aboard the International Space Station during Garriott's time aboard. After this preview, the film proper begins.

Wayne suggests that they visit the nearest farm that could give them some gasoline. They find that the farm is run by a strange farmer named Greely, who tells them that the gasoline truck was supposed to arrive the previous day, but since it didn't, he expects it there any minute. Greely suggests that they go inside to the parlor, where it's cooler. On the way up to the house, he asks if they know anybody out here, in case they may be waiting for them.
