FIRST MEN IN THE MOON
Based on legendary science fiction novelist H.G. Wells’ (War of the Worlds,
The Time Machine) 1901 story, The First Men in the Moon is brought to life in
eye-catching DYNAMATION by director Nathan Juran (The 7th Voyage of Sinbad) and
celebrated filmmaker Ray Harryhausen (Jason and the Argonauts).Brilliant and
brave British scientist Joseph Cavor (Lionel Jeffries, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang)
revolutionises a gravity deflecting device and builds his own spacecraft with
the sole intention of taking a trip to the moon. Accompanied by loyal explorers
Arnold Bedford (Edward Judd, Island of Terror) and Kate Callender (Martha Hyer,
The Night of the Grizzly), they encounter all manner of intergalactic peril
along the way and even discover an insect-like alien race living under the
moon's surface.
20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH
Special effects master Ray Harryhausen (Clash of the Titans, One Million Years
B.C.) brings you one of his earliest groundbreaking films.On its way home from
Venus, a U.S. Army rocket ship crashes into the sea of Sicily leaving Colonel
Calder (William Hopper, Rebel Without a Cause) the sole survivor …or so it
seems. A sealed container is also recovered from the wreck and when a zoologist
(Frank Puglia, Girls! Girls! Girls!) and his granddaughter (Joan Taylor, War
Drums) open it, the gelatinous mass inside escapes. Overnight, it grows into a
horrific monster that has doubled in size. In desperation, Calder calls in the
Army to help fight the monster, which has taken refuge atop the Coliseum in
Rome. But it will take more than man's weapons to fight the evil forces of the
unknown and save the world from destruction.
