DESTINATION MOON was the first major science fiction film produced in the U.S. and lifted the genre from the realm of the fantastic to the world of the believable.

Co-scripted by Robert Heinlein from his novel "Rocketship Galileo", DESTINATION MOON's suspenseful plot relates the saga of man's first voyage to the moon amid a series of scientific cliffhangers. It also marked producer George Pal's initial association with the genre. Later Pal would produce some of Hollywood's most popular science fiction films, including WAR OF THE WORLDS, WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE and THE TIME MACHINE.

Breathtakingly photographed in vivid Technicolor, with astronomical art by Chesley Bonestell, a captivating score by Leith Stevens and Academy Award winning special effects, DESTINATION MOON remains a science fiction landmark.
