Italy's bargain-bin answer to 2001: a cardboard space station and a planet that looks suspiciously like a ball of yarn.
Scientists try to prevent a collision between Earth and a planet that is heading for it.
Practical Effects
Gloriously unconvincing planet models and sparkler-powered rockets.
Production
Sets so cramped the actors bump elbows pretending to pilot a space station.
Costume
Space uniforms that scream 'we raided a scuba shop and a hardware store.'
Director
Antonio Margheriti
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Antonio Margheriti shot this in ten days using leftover sets from another film, then reused the same footage for TWO other movies. Italian exploitation cinema, folks.
This was the third in Margheriti's 'Gamma One' quadrilogy, Italy's desperate attempt to compete with American space race optimism while having roughly 1% of the budget.
