Destination Moon Blu-ray presents a landmark of early science fiction alongside a companion cult classic, capturing the optimism, ambition and anxiety of the dawn of the Space Age. Produced by George Pal, this pioneering film set the benchmark for realistic space travel on screen and helped define the genre for decades to come.

 

In Destination Moon, a group of industrialists and scientists take matters into their own hands to build and launch the first privately funded rocket to the Moon, embarking on a dangerous and historic journey beyond Earth. Paired with Flight to Mars, this special edition expands into Cold War-era sci-fi, where an expedition to the Red Planet uncovers a mysterious and potentially hostile alien civilisation.

 

Presented from 4K scans of archival 35mm elements, this set offers a fascinating look at mid-century science fiction through two influential and entertaining classics.
