TAGLINES : "The screen's FIRST story of man's conquest of space!" "The Future is Here!"- An astronaut crew on their way to the Moon are unexpectedly propelled by gravitational forces and end up on Mars instead. Astronauts (Lloyd Bridges, Osa Massen, John Emery, Noah Beery, Jr, and Hugh O'Brien) blast off to explore the moon. Because of craft malfunction and some fuel calculations, they end up landing on Mars. On Mars, evidence of a once powerful civilization is found. The scientists determine that an atomic war destroyed most of the Martians (who surprisingly look like humans). Those that survived reverted to a caveman-like existence. CAST includes Lloyd Bridges, Osa Massen, John Emery, Noah Beery Jr, Hugh O'Brian, Morris Ankrum. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : This was the first film involving space travel. It was in theaters more than three weeks before the first showings of George Pal's "Destination Moon" (1950). Unlike most sci-fi films of the 1950s, this early effort correctly predicted that multi-stage rockets were needed to achieve earth orbit. The gravity-assist method of achieving escape velocity shown is similar to the one actually used in 2013 by India's Mars Orbiter Mission to leave Earth for Mars. This movie contained a sequence showing the consequences of atomic war on Mars, and how it had destroyed the once advanced Martian civilization. This is one of the first times a movie showed the dangers of atomic war, and might have actually been the first.
