'''Lifepod''' was a MadeForTVMovie that aired on Creator/{{FOX}} back in 1993. It is essentially a Sci-Fi remake of the Creator/AlfredHitchcock classic ''Film/{{Lifeboat}}''.

The film took place on Christmas Eve 2168 A.D. and chronicled the adventures of a small group of survivors struggling to survive in a life pod drifting in space after the space cruiser that they were traveling on explodes, apparently due to a bomb that had been planted on the ship. With limited food, water, and air, the survivors gradually begin to suspect that one of them on the life pod is responsible for the sabotage of the ship as well as the theft and contamination of their supplies.

!''Lifepod'' contained the following tropes:

* OhCrap: Parker gets this reaction after discovering [[spoiler:Terman drinking pure non-contaminated water, and then seeing the supposedly-blind Terman ''look'' at him, [[YouKnowTooMuch then walk over and kill him]].]]

* OhCrap: Parker gets this reaction after discovering [[spoiler:Terman]] drinking pure non-contaminated water, prompting [[spoiler:Terman]] to go over to Parker and kill him.

* KilledOffForReal: A pregnant woman dies after her baby dies in hiberstasis so she is jettisoned, along with her dead child, out into space. Mayvene dies after exposure to a radiation field, due to being unable to escape the cockpit, and Parker dies after getting his neck snapped. Q-3 and Rena later die after [[spoiler:Terman]] shoots them, though it is subverted with Banks, that while he does get shot, he survives.

* [[spoiler:TheMole: Terman turns out to be the guilty party responsible for the sabotage of the space cruiser, as well as contaminating the crew's food and water supply.]]

* [[spoiler:ObfuscatingDisability: Terman turns out to not be blind after all, thanks to incriminating evidence shown on Clara's video camera during the filming of Parker's amputation operation (Terman dodging a flying splint due to Parker's thrashing movements during the operation), which hints him to be the saboteur.]]

In the end, the saboteur turns out to be an apparently blind man who two of the survivors are able to dispatch and jettison into space and the life pod is saved by a passing ship.

* OneSceneWonder: Cork Hubbert as T-nine, at the beginning of the film, just before the bomb is discovered on the GFC Terrania.

* KilledOffForReal: A pregnant woman dies after her baby dies in hiberstasis so she is jettisoned, along with her dead child, out into space. Mayvene dies after exposure to an asteroid field, due to being unable to escape the cockpit, and Parker dies after getting his neck snapped. Q-3 and Rena later die after [[spoiler:Terman]] shoots them, though it is subverted with Banks, that while he does get shot, he survives.

* NauseaFuel: Just the sight of Parker's gangrene-laden leg is enough to make you sick. Also, in the climax, the scene in which [[spoiler:Terman]] is force fed liquid metal also seems rather stomach-turning.

* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:Terman kills Parker this way while he is in bed, after Parker had gotten his leg amputated.
