“I Shot an Arrow into the Air” is Twilight Zone episode 15

A manned space flight with eight crew members crash lands on what the astronauts believe to be an unknown asteroid.

They find Pierson, still barely alive, who with his last bit of strength draws a primitive diagram in the sand with his finger, and then dies. Corey confesses that he attacked Pierson earlier, and he then kills Donlin and sets out alone, confident that he will survive longer now that he has all of the water supply. Corey climbs a nearby mountain and sees a sign for Reno, and then sees telephone poles, which were what Pierson had attempted to draw before he died. Realizing that they had in fact never left Earth and that he had killed his partners for nothing, Corey breaks down weeping.

That was yet another great episode from the original Twilight Zone series. Just about every episode was excellent to great IMO. How our country and pop culture has changed since those days. Damn shame.
