Groundbreaking science-fiction launching Hollywood into Space Age following team of daring American industrialists building a rocket to the moon.

Produced by Academy Award-winner George Pal, Destination Moon (1950) is the groundbreaking science-fiction classic that launched Hollywood into the Space Age, and set the standard for realistic space travel on screen. When a team of daring American industrialists and scientists defy government hesitation to build the world's first privately funded rocket, they embark on a perilous journey to the Moon. Cult favorite Flight to Mars (1951) is a thrilling blend of Cold War allegory and pulp adventure. A bold expedition crew reaches the Red Planet where they encounter an advanced Martian civilization with intentions that threaten Earth! Both films are from 4K scans of 35mm archival elements.
