A new planet which supports life is spotted close to Earth. A rocket (which looks remarkably like a V-2) is sent there with four human explorers. The four, which includes two men and two women including William Bryant and Wanda Curtis, waste no time in hooking up. They also get lost, while exploring this alien planet packed with life which is remarkably like Earth's...
Finally, they get menaced by a giant reptile and need to flee the planet. They also decide to nuke the planet (using an atom bomb they have been carrying around this whole time) as they leave and wipe out life there...
So, this is an awful film over filled with stock footage, scientific stupidity, misogyny, animal cruelty and pointless nuclear devastation. It is also pretty slow and tedious too. This might be one of the worst films ever made, unlike other 1950s science fiction films it lacks much in the way of camp or charm to compensate for the nonsense. Terrible.
