The Screen Guide

This is the feature-length movie version of the successful series of the same name. It follows the adventures of five children who escape, along with a handful of adults, from the crumbling world of Io, Jupiter's moon. Their attempt to reach earth aboard the abandoned space station KL5 meets with many disasters. Just when safety is near, a rogue defence satellite mistakes them for enemy craft and attacks with deadly laser fire, which sends them off course towards the sun, leaving only one chance of survival!
