Terror from Outer Space!

Five individuals from five nations, including the USA, USSR, and China, suddenly find themselves on an alien saucer, where an alien gives each a container holding three capsules.

Then, they are given 27 days to decide whether to use the capsules, and returned to the places from which each one came...
