Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In 1946, the Soviet space program is undergoing turmoil. Professor Sedikh, who is planning to lead the first manned exploration to the moon, is denounced by his rival Professor Karin as being too old and too mentally unstable for the mission. Professor Sedikh, aided by his assistant Marina and a youth named Andryusha, disregard Prof. Karin's authority and make a successful landing on the moon. Although a few problems occur at the moon, including the discovery of a damaged oxygen tank and Professor Sedikh's becoming trapped under a fallen boulder, the expedition is a success and the cosmonauts return to Moscow.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The external scenes of the institution also show, in the background, The Palace of the Soviets (Stalinistic 'wedding cake' building with a statue of Lenin on top). The Church that once occupied this site was demolished in the late 30's to prepare for its construction, however due to the outbreak of WW2 the building was never completed. It became "the world's largest outdoor swimming pool" until the mid 1990's when a replacement Church was constructed. See more » |
