About this product

Product Information

Lloyd Bridges stars as spaceship pilot Colonel Graham in this 1950 sci-fi film about a group of four astronauts (three men, one woman) whose trip to the moon is ruined when a solar wind blows them off course, forcing them to land on Mars. There, they find a primitive society of beings that bear a striking resemblance to humans. One of the better sci-fi films to come out of the 1950s, ROCKETSHIP X-M is a serious thriller that boasts excellent black and white photography (the Mars scenes have an eerie red tint), fine acting, and mixes an intriguing plot and sophisticated science with some rather bizarre fifties naivete, making for a thoroughly entertaining trip into space.

  • Improved with time and restoration

    The restoration of Rocketsip X-M has changed this movie entirely. What I remember as a low budget space movie with poor effects is totally gone. And our large projector screen made it very cinematic. Some of the effects even resonate with the appearance of recent real flights! The red tinting of the planet scenes is very effective and an enormous improvement. I thought I would chafe at a dated kind of relationship between the leads -- but no! The acting made them individuals. I think this film has more to offer now than it did when it was made.

  • Rocket ship X- M

    Typical 50s sci fi movie. One of the first manned space flight movies. If you like 50s sci fi, you'll like this.

  • Impressive

    Rocketship XM is a classic in the annals of SF cinema and the restoration by Wade Williams can be described as icing on the cake.

  • Good movie

    I didn't think the special effects would be great given the fact that this was made before computer graphics were used but I was wrong. This movie is really great.

  • You can't get there from here

    They head for the moon and instead end up on mars. Sure, why not, it's not like mars is more than 500 times further from earth and not exactly on the same rail line. Chalk it up to artistic license.
