Black Hole is a Sci Fi original movie, directed by Tibor Takács, that asks the question: What if a particle accelerator went awry and created a black hole? The film explores this possibility as a black hole begins to form taking much of St. Louis in its wake as well as the dangers inflicted by the energy-based monster that arrived from the black hole.

The film is noteworthy for using many distinctive pieces of St. Louis architecture as locations in the story. Including the St. Louis planetarium as the headquarters for the research project, the Gateway Arch is destroyed in one scene as is Busch Stadium and the city hall.

The film stars Judd Nelson as the main character, Eric Bryce, a nuclear physicist essential in solving this problem, with Kristy Swanson playing Dr. Shannon Mueller as the secondary leading character.
