Nebo zovyot (1959)


Two countries race to have the first successful landing on Mars.

A probably good Soviet sci-fi movie with impressive special effects is botched (by Francis Ford Coppola!) into a an apolitical space race with some ridiculously hideous monsters added in for more commercial potential, obviously.

Maltin**: "Soviet sci-fi film...is refashioned into a so-so American product..."
