About Pilot Pirx's Inquest
Pirx, an experienced pilot, is hired to go on a top-secret mission to evaluate some 'nonlinears' (an experimental model of android) for use as crewmembers on future space flights. Pirx and this intriguing crew are sent out to launch two satellites into the rings of Saturn, but he is determined to find out and identify a hostile unhuman coworker among them.
Directed by Marek Piestrak, Pilot Pirx's Inquest leans on a strong ensemble — Sergei Desnitsky, Vladimir Ivashov, Aleksandr Kaydanovskiy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1979.
