"The Long Morrow" is an episode of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone.

Synopsis

Commander Douglas Stansfield (played by Robert Lansing) an astronaut in the year 1987, is sent to a planetary system 141 light-years from Earth. The trip will take 20 years each way. To save him the ordeal of forty years of loneliness, he is to be placed in (newly-developed) suspended animation. Before leaving, he meets and becomes enchanted by his young colleague, Sandra Horn (played by Mariette Hartley). However, Horn would be 40 years older and Stansfield would still be young because of the suspended animation. Stansfield goes on his mission and 40 years later he returns (tragically, the job he was sent to do was already completed, using technology developed after he left). He thus returns a forgotten pioneer.

It is revealed on his arrival that he voluntarily disabled the suspended animation system about six months into his journey so that he would be the same age as Sandra when he finally returned. Unbeknownst to him, she placed herself in suspended animation so that she would be his age. In the tragic end, an aged Stansfield sadly urges Horn to live her new life without him.

After Horn leaves, General Walters somewhat consoles him by saying, "Stansfield, you're really quite an incredible man. Maybe the one distinction of my entire life, that I knew you...that I knew a man who put such a premium, on love. Truly...quite a distinction, Stansfield..."; Stansfield nods.
