Written by Robert A. Heinlein, Alford Van Ronkel

Directed by Irving Pichel

Running Time: 100 minutes (approx)

Production Year: 1950

Rating: U Certificate

Production Country: USA

Filmed in Colour

Irving Pichel's film is a landmark in many ways, accurately depicting weightlessness, space walks and the technique of moon landing way ahead of even later films, rewarded with an Oscar for special effects. Scripted by sf writer Robert Heinlein, the tension comes from various escapades on the way to the moon and then the problems of returning, when the remaining fuel isn't enough to leave and all weight must be shed.
