Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Antonio Margheriti shot four sci-fi films back-to-back in 1960, recycling sets, costumes, and that one rocket launch sequence between all of them.
This film captures peak Italian 'peplum in space' fever—when studios realized they could recycle Hercules sets with tinfoil costumes and call it the future.
