Some bridge settings in "Die Hard" are also faintly visible in "Space One".
The plot performance of "Space One" is also based on routines. The first 30 minutes or so of time is the establishment of the story. Two-thirds of the plot makes the protagonist undergo a major character transition-witnessing the death of a friend, and a maddening cover• Pierce was furious, and it ushered in the ultimate showdown...
Compared with simple sci-fi action movies, "Space One" actually designed two theatrical tasks: solving the prison riot crisis; and washing away the grievances of the protagonist.
