Capricorn One (1978) - Avoiding Capture Scene (10/11) | Movieclips

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
As the military agents attempt to capture Brubaker (James Brolin), Caulfield (Elliott Gould) rushes to rescue him.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Astronauts Charles Brubaker, John Walker, and Peter Willis (James Brolin, O.J. Simpson, and Sam Waterston, respectively) are hailed as heroes when they become the first men to be rocketed to Mars. Actually the space travelers are as phony as their mission controller, Dr. James Kelloway (Hal Holbrook); to avert a failure that might cost the space program its funding, the Mars-bound vessel has been sent up without a crew, while the helmeted astronauts sit on a movie soundstage, pretending to be in outer space for the benefit of the TV cameras. Unfortunately the Mars ship crashes on arrival, making the astronaut trio thoroughly expendable. Investigative reporter Robert Caulfield (Elliott Gould), who's smelled a rat all along, races against time to prevent NASA from "terminating" the hapless astronauts in order to cover up the conspiracy.

Brolin gets coins out of the Coke machine to make a call but for godsake he's been roaming around the desert for days don't you think once he got the machine opened he would have grabbed an ice cold Coca Cola?

Here’s a shot in the dark: does anybody know the exact location of this gas station that was used to film this scene? I know it’s somewhere probably in the Mojave desert, but I have been unable to ascertain exactly where it is.
