Battle Beyond the Sun
English-dubbed and re-edited version of the 1959 Soviet film Nebo Zovyot. Acquired by Roger Corman and reworked by a young Francis Ford Coppola, the film relocates its Cold War “space race” to a fictional future where rival nations—North Hemis and South Hemis—compete to reach Mars first. When one crew’s mission goes awry, their rivals risk their own flight to attempt a daring rescue nearthe Martian moons, where strange cosmic dangers await.
From the archive
The space race is on between two countries. Who's going to land on mars first? Look for the scene with two goofy looking monsters battling on an asteroid.
