Another contribution to the SF Film Festival from Byron Haskin, whose War of the Worlds and Robinson Crusoe on Mars have also featured. Starring Eric Fleming, Walter Brooke, Ross Martin and Mickey Shaughnessy,
George Pal 's science fiction adventure begins on The Wheel, a space-station 500 miles above earth, which is to be used as a base of operations for a rocket test flight to the moon. But plans are changed and Mars becomes the new target in a search for raw materials to replace those that are vanishing from earth
