00:01:56worldwide radio and telecast in history at this moment over two billion people in every part of
00:02:06the world are focusing their attention on this program every nation of the earth in a magnificent
00:02:13effort is contributing of its people and resources in an attempt to reach the moon and proclaim it
00:02:22international territory the rocket ship lunar eagle number one represents the culminating
00:02:29achievement of the world's leading scientists the men and women who will fly her have been
00:02:34handpicked from the world's leading specialists they include dr eric heinrich who personally
00:02:40designed and supervised the construction of this rocket ship as dr heinrich is the oldest member
00:02:46of the crew so rod murdoch is the youngest he holds a doctor's degree in mathematics at the age of
00:02:5319
00:02:54dr salim hamed from turkey is an expert on space medicine selected to work with him is dr sigrid
00:03:02bromark from sweden physician and physicist from france etienne martell engineer and technician
00:03:12sir william rochester noted british geophysicist tokyo born dr hideko murata will be acting as astrophotographer
00:03:21and pharmacist russia is represented by dr feodor orlap geologist and mapmaker from nigeria of the chief
00:03:32navigator the great astronomer as mara mcconnor from israel polish-born dr david ruskin this aeronautic
00:03:41engineer will serve as the official recorder of this expedition the brazilian dr lewis fargus the
00:03:48ship's first pilot will also be in charge of communications the leader of this gigantic undertaking
00:03:54is john anderson of the united states who has dedicated his life to man's conquest of space
00:04:01his three previous orbital flights have made him world famous because of his all-around experience
00:04:08he was the unanimous choice of the international space order to helm this project
00:04:21within the next few minutes we expect to make world shattering history the dual-powered lunar eagle
00:04:29will take off for the liquid fuel method and outside the earth's atmosphere will convert to atomic power
00:04:36when the moon's orbit is reached by retro power the first landing on the moon will be attempted
00:04:43if all goes as planned touchdown on lunar soil should be 27 hours from x minus zero during the entire
00:04:54flight
00:04:54earth control will try to keep in communication with the ship this worldwide network will bring you
00:05:01bulletins on the flight and the news of the landing god be with them
00:05:25i know that the ship is SuperFelce you've got a good night and i know that i'm going to go
00:05:39right now
00:05:42i'm going to go to the next few days
00:05:43All right, let's go.
00:06:13All right, let's go.
00:06:50This is Dr. David Ruskin reporting his first entry into the official log of the Lunar Eagle.
00:06:56We will attempt to report salient information as it occurs.
00:07:00It is now launch time minus two minutes.
00:07:22We'll see you next time.
00:07:23Fuel tank pressure.
00:07:24Locked 45.
00:07:25Roger.
00:07:46We'll see you next time.
00:07:47Hit it, check.
00:07:47We'll see if you don't light on.
00:07:49One minute.
00:07:50The range is ready?
00:07:51Ready.
00:07:52The water system is ready.
00:07:54One minute.
00:07:54I have a trip complete light.
00:07:56One minute.
00:07:58One minute.
00:08:12One minute.
00:08:25Three.
00:08:33One minute.
00:08:33One.
00:08:34I have a beer.
00:08:36One minute.
00:08:36Two.
00:08:37Eight.
00:08:37Five.
00:08:38Five.
00:08:39Eight.
00:08:40Four.
00:08:42Three.
00:08:43Eight.
00:08:43Two, one, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero.
00:08:53Keep going, baby.
00:12:20For the first time in my life,
00:12:21for the first time in my life,
00:12:21the Earth looks good to me.
00:12:23Dr. Martell, don't you think we'll make it either?
00:12:25But of course, it's perfectly reasonable that we should make it.
00:12:29I trust the engines.
00:12:31I trust the ship.
00:12:32But what will happen will happen, but what will happen will happen.
00:13:20I'll be right back, I'll be right back, I'll be right back.
00:13:46I'll be right back.
00:14:01I will always remember a man's first flight to the moon.
00:14:04The events you record in the next few days...
00:14:07will be milestones in history.
00:14:09Oh, yes.
00:14:12What about Dr. Heinrich?
00:14:15How is he?
00:14:16Not very well.
00:14:17It's only natural, I suppose. He is the oldest.
00:14:20Don't say anything to anybody else.
00:14:22No ill effects, really.
00:14:24Such a brilliant man.
00:14:26If only someday I could be like him.
00:14:30Brilliant, as I hear.
00:14:32What brilliance?
00:14:35Young man, remember.
00:14:36Who contributes most to interplanetary travel?
00:14:40Russia.
00:14:41What? Are you serious?
00:14:42Well, of course.
00:14:44Sputnik 1, Sputnik 2, Sputnik 8, 9, a few dogs...
00:14:49My dog will survive these experiments.
00:14:51Gentlemen, gentlemen, we have much work ahead of us.
00:14:54My work will start on the surface of the moon.
00:14:57I'm a geologist and the best mapmaker in the world.
00:15:02Yes.
00:15:04Poland is still on your Russian map.
00:15:06But, of course, it has already been liberated.
00:15:09Don't get any ideas about liberating my country!
00:15:12Israel!
00:15:13What?
00:15:13Dr. Olaf, uh...
00:15:14New medical checkup, please.
00:15:16When you're shut up.
00:15:21Ah, you lucky people.
00:15:23Nothing seems to worry you.
00:15:34Navigator, Captain.
00:15:35We're in an unusual magnetic field.
00:16:00Media clusters ahead!
00:16:02How close?
00:16:03You're on a collision course! A collision course!
00:16:06Changing over to autoreaction pilot. Vargas, take over.
00:16:09Okay.
00:16:14Captain, the navigator, autopilot, change course...
00:16:16Eight degrees to avoid meteors.
00:16:56What was that?
00:16:58Oh, just some stray meteors.
00:17:02It's all right, Mimi.
00:17:04Pujolfo.
00:17:05You still have eight lives left.
00:17:09Profile change completed.
00:17:11Back on original setting.
00:17:13Sammy Cachuna.
00:17:15It worked perfectly.
00:17:17After all, it was our invention.
00:17:19With a little help.
00:17:22From our German scientists.
00:17:39Isn't that marvelous today, sir?
00:17:42Much more soothing and practical than water.
00:17:46Clean by ultrasound and massaged by air spray chains.
00:17:51When I get back to Stockholm, I'm gonna have one installed in my apartment.
00:17:56Me too, when I get back to Tokyo.
00:18:02Oops, I'm sorry, ladies.
00:18:05Well, you could have not.
00:18:06Well, we're not at the Waldorf, you know.
00:18:09Well, Mimi.
00:18:11Rodolfo.
00:18:12Some attic you've climbed into, isn't it?
00:18:15But don't worry.
00:18:16Your work's gonna start on the moon.
00:18:18They want to see if procreation can take place up there.
00:18:22So, Mimi.
00:18:23Maybe when we get back, you'll have a litter of moon kittens, hmm?
00:18:32John.
00:18:33We are direct on course to orbit over the crater of Menelaus.
00:18:39Hmm.
00:18:40Another hour and 37 minutes, and we should begin retro procedure for landing.
00:18:46Approaching meteoric dust cloud.
00:18:48Impossible to avoid.
00:18:50Affirmative.
00:18:51Breakthrough alert.
00:18:52Signal condition red.
00:18:53Prepare to set up for penetration rockets.
00:18:59Out your door.
00:19:00Open.
00:19:01Ready to fire.
00:19:02Preset timing feels to 1.55 minutes.
00:19:061.55.
00:19:10On setting.
00:19:13Still ready.
00:19:14We'll use a five-second countdown.
00:19:16Five and counting.
00:19:18Four.
00:19:19Three.
00:19:21Two.
00:19:23One.
00:19:24Fire.
00:19:35Second set up.
00:19:36Ready.
00:19:37No time.
00:19:38Have to make an assist.
00:19:39All hands off metal surfaces.
00:19:41Interior could become electrically charged.
00:20:09Dr. Orloff.
00:20:11That was our invention.
00:20:19Old Mother Earth.
00:20:21From up here she looks rather small and insignificant, doesn't she, stargazing.
00:20:24Very small, John. Very insignificant.
00:20:29I wonder what they're doing down there.
00:20:31Probably watching us.
00:20:33Well, I better get up those stairs and get ready for a reversal.
00:21:10Very... thank you.
00:21:12It was my pleasure, Hideko.
00:21:16Reversal accomplished without mishap.
00:21:19Landing in one hour and 32 minutes.
00:21:36And now, Roddy, we need the formula for our rate of deceleration for our landing on the moon.
00:21:43That'll be x over g minus 3, considering that the moon's gravitational pull is one-sixth of Earth.
00:21:51That's absolutely right.
00:21:52He's always right.
00:21:54Amazing, Rod.
00:22:01Of course, the original calculation...
00:22:04was determined 33 years ago by Bernauer in Vienna.
00:22:10Ironic, isn't it, that for all his brilliance...
00:22:15Bernauer could have been such a Nazi beast.
00:22:21Did you know he was directly responsible for the extermination of more than a hundred thousand of my people?
00:22:27He killed my mother, my father, my sisters, and my brothers.
00:22:31But Dr. Heinrich is...
00:22:32Rod!
00:22:33Come over here, will you?
00:22:34We have a problem here.
00:22:39Listen, Rod.
00:22:41Rescott doesn't know that Dr. Heinrich's own father was Bernauer.
00:22:44Heinrich was so ashamed of what his father did that he changed his name.
00:22:48Don't say anything, Roddy.
00:22:50Look.
00:22:52That should take care of it.
00:22:54Shouldn't it?
00:22:56Good.
00:22:58They work so well together.
00:23:00Yes.
00:23:02Let's not rake up all that old muck again.
00:23:15This is the latest shot of our moon landing area, Captain.
00:23:21Captain Anderson to cruise, drop down for landing.
00:23:33Altitude.
00:23:34Five hundred feet.
00:23:39Four hundred.
00:23:45Three hundred.
00:23:48Two hundred.
00:23:54One hundred.
00:24:01Touch.
00:24:03Down.
00:24:12We made it.
00:24:13We made it.
00:24:14God, say it down.
00:24:16Here, Mr. Shat.
00:24:18Allah be praised.
00:24:20Praise the ship.
00:24:22Not Allah.
00:24:25Lunar Eagle number one to Central Earth Control.
00:24:28Come in.
00:24:28Central Earth Control.
00:24:30Earth Control to Lunar Eagle one.
00:24:31Over.
00:24:33Lunar Eagle number one, Captain Anderson speaking.
00:24:36Reporting successful landing on moon.
00:24:38Time is calculated plus 37 minutes.
00:24:41Preparing now for first lunar disembarkation.
00:24:44Next scheduled contact with Central Earth Control at 0200.
00:24:50Congratulations, Lunar Eagle one.
00:24:53Congratulations, Lunar Eagle one.
00:24:53Stand by for Secretary General of International Space Order.
00:24:57Thank God you made it, Captain.
00:25:01Speaking for all the peoples of the Earth whom you and your crew represent, our heartliest congratulations
00:25:08for this first great step in the exploration of space.
00:25:13Godspeed in your work.
00:25:18We are preparing to leave the Lunar Eagle.
00:25:21In a few minutes, man for the first time will set foot upon the moon.
00:25:25The excitement is great, but controlled because of its momentous importance.
00:25:30I am now switching over to my helmet microphone.
00:25:36Now I'm turning on my invisible electromagnetic ray screen, which forms a protective shield over
00:25:46our faces, and I will continue my commentary through my microtape recorder.
00:25:53Check everything with extreme care.
00:25:56Double check your oxygen supply.
00:25:58There's enough in each tank for a two-hour stay upon the surface of the moon.
00:26:02As you remember, you must develop an additional reflex action.
00:26:06Make sure you suit radios in working order at all times.
00:26:11Marcel, while we are going, keep all TV and radio channels open.
00:26:15Check.
00:26:15Also, lower the equipment in the winch.
00:26:17Check.
00:26:20Equipment check, Maconan.
00:26:22Anderson, the Maconan radio check.
00:26:24Check.
00:26:27Vargas, you and Ruscombe will carry our magnetic meteorite deflectors.
00:26:31Now remember, when we hit the surface of the moon to establish a four-point perimeter
00:26:35at least 100 yards from the ship.
00:26:37Check.
00:26:37Check.
00:26:40C. Lim, you are carrying the air detector.
00:26:44Yes, check.
00:26:46Good.
00:26:49Nadeko, emergency equipment.
00:26:51Check.
00:26:55All right.
00:26:57Vargas and I hit the airlock first.
00:27:03Yes.
00:27:04Yes.
00:27:05Yes.
00:27:06Yes.
00:27:06Yes.
00:27:07Yes.
00:27:07Yes.
00:27:08Yes.
00:27:09Yes.
00:27:14Yes.
00:27:15Yes.
00:27:16Yes.
00:27:18Yes.
00:27:21Yes.
00:27:34Yes.
00:27:36Yes.
00:27:38Yes.
00:27:39Yes.
00:27:39Yes.
00:27:39Yes.
00:29:09No air detected, no sound.
00:29:15Soil seems to be pumice dust, two to three inches thick at this point.
00:29:36Six minutes after touching lunar soil, we were bombarded by meteors.
00:29:40Our magnets were strong enough to protect us.
00:30:07The next day, we were bombarded by meteors.
00:31:21The planting of this flag symbolizes the internationalization of the moon to prevent individual nations from any further dispute.
00:31:30Now we shall continue with the second part of our mission, scientific exploration.
00:32:20We are constantly being bombarded by falling rocks.
00:32:23Caused by the explosion of meteors hitting the moon's surface.
00:32:27Vargas, stake out this area.
00:32:35Remember, if you go outside this area, you'll stay within the protection of the cliffs of rocks.
00:32:39Or off, this is where you take charge.
00:32:42Everybody attend to their prearranged duties.
00:32:45If any unusual mineral deposits are discovered, please report them to me at once.
00:32:50Doctors Bromark and Hamid, you will search for signs of air and life.
00:32:55記 się, nie
00:32:58wражeps!
00:32:59O
00:33:01o
00:33:01o
00:35:18It's gold, isn't it?
00:35:21Oh.
00:35:23Yes.
00:35:25That's gold.
00:35:29Wait a minute.
00:35:31Wait a minute.
00:35:35There seems to be something unusual under here.
00:35:40Clear these rocks away.
00:35:43Careful, you fools.
00:35:44Careful, don't damage it.
00:35:49What is it, Dr. Olaf?
00:35:53I have never seen anything like it.
00:35:58Nor have I.
00:36:01Oh, it's beautiful.
00:36:05It's like fire.
00:36:07Like liquid fire.
00:36:09We are the first people to set eyes on a stone like this.
00:36:12It's beautiful.
00:36:15But evil.
00:36:17Evil and sharp.
00:36:19Like the jewel of Medea.
00:36:21The Medea stone.
00:36:23Very well named.
00:36:24Very well named.
00:36:25I have named it.
00:36:30Oh, Conan.
00:36:33What is it?
00:36:34Are you listening for something?
00:36:36I feel something.
00:36:38I feel something.
00:36:38I'm sorry.
00:37:08There must be air.
00:37:43There must be air.
00:38:09Captain Anderson, I'd like to search deeper, please.
00:38:12There may be more precious gems like the Medea stone here.
00:38:16Can we have the explosion?
00:38:18Yes, but we must hurry.
00:38:19We've only got about an hour's supply of oxygen left.
00:38:21At once, then.
00:38:38What is it?
00:39:01The deco emergency kit.
00:39:05I should have known.
00:39:07Oh!
00:39:09What a stupid unthinking fool.
00:39:12I deserve this.
00:39:15Will you see that he gets back to the ship, please?
00:39:18I'll stay with him.
00:39:22Captain Anderson.
00:39:23Secret and Selim.
00:39:24They're missing.
00:39:24They're not with us.
00:39:27Well, then we'll have to search,
00:39:28but we must be quick because there's not much time.
00:39:43They're footprints.
00:40:03Let's go.
00:40:05They're missing.
00:40:17They're missing.
00:40:19They're missing.
00:40:22They're missing out.
00:40:23Let's go.
00:40:27There's air in this cave.
00:40:29There could be life.
00:40:51We've come to the end of the cave.
00:40:54There's a solid wall of ice.
00:41:09We've come to the end of the cave.
00:41:10But we don't know if it's a pipe.
00:41:10I'm going to go back to the map.
00:41:10I'm going to go back then until the end of the cave.
00:41:13You know what?
00:41:14I'm going to go back then.
00:41:25I'm going up and I'm going to go back to the cave.
00:41:27Amen.
00:41:30Run!
00:41:32Yeah?
00:41:33Take the camera.
00:41:37Don't let yourselves get caught.
00:41:39It's no use.
00:41:41I'm finished.
00:41:45Run!
00:41:46Get the magnet boy!
00:41:47The magnet boy!
00:41:49No use.
00:41:51Don't let anyone else get caught.
00:41:53Run!
00:41:54Run!
00:41:56Run!
00:41:56Run!
00:41:58Run!
00:42:03Run!
00:42:09Run!
00:42:21Ruskin!
00:42:28You goodly man.
00:42:33Uh huh...
00:42:34Uh huh...
00:42:40Oh...
00:42:42Uh huh...
00:42:49Oh...
00:42:51Gosh!
00:42:53Roo?
00:43:11lost everything lost what a fool what a foolish waste believe it or not outside
00:43:20it's 202 degrees below zero you'll return just in time and this is only the beginning of the lunar
00:43:26night yes night here like day is equivalent to 15 days and nights upon the earth it will drop to
00:43:33approximately 250 below zero i'd rather be out there now than at the peak of the lunar day when
00:43:40it's hotter than boiling water out there the heavy lead in dr rochester's boots contributed to a
00:43:46sinking into the pumice dust these are the circumstances which contributed to the death
00:43:51of dr william rochester the first embarkation party returned to the lunar eagle because of
00:43:57diminishing oxygen supply and the necessity to normalize our bodily processes
00:44:04poor bill such a tragic death for a man so dedicated i know we all feel terrible about it secret
00:44:13sailor
00:44:16well it's too cold to continue a prolonged search do you think they'll get back to the ship
00:44:22if they're still alive just keep praying
00:44:27i have been
00:44:38despite the adverse circumstances we are according to plan
00:44:42photographing various parts of our galaxy from which we hope to obtain a new perspective
00:44:52captain anderson to entire personnel please assemble on a deck
00:44:56all contact with earth control has been broken off
00:45:03all contact with central earth control has been broken off as i've told you
00:45:07we are in complete isolation the magnetic receiver seems to be working perfectly
00:45:14john try to make contact again
00:45:19lunar eagle one to central earth control our magnetic receiver is working
00:45:23do you hear us central earth control do you hear us central earth control
00:45:35do you hear us central earth control
00:45:36there's something
00:45:39what is it looks like hieroglyphics
00:45:45it's not egyptian not african it looks like oriental picture writing
00:45:53it's incredible
00:45:56do you recognize it hadeko is it something you understand
00:46:00it's impossible it can't be you know what it is can you translate it for us hadeko
00:46:04do you know i don't know i don't know well i'll try
00:46:11i speak for the great coordinator of the moon we advise and warn you return to earth at once
00:46:21you have done enough damage go on come on it's moving again you have been bombarding us for years
00:46:26incessantly leave us in peace we read your mind we know your every thought cannot speak as you do
00:46:36we communicate by thought waves
00:46:41fantastic
00:46:42but how do they live where we live in a great sealed city below we are not enslaved by your
00:46:51earthly
00:46:52emotions greed lust passions of conquest we cannot allow you to stay here for you would only contaminate
00:47:03our perfect form of harmony secret zelem is their fate known
00:47:08they are here they say they are in love we are studying this curious emotion if we find that
00:47:17love turns to evil we will destroy them you and your kind remember we have the power
00:47:28to immobilize you at will well this is impossible it must be a hoax
00:47:40we have the power to immobilize you at will well this is impossible it must be a hoax
00:47:41these symbols could have been sent by an earth power already secretly here on the moon
00:47:50a power that wishes to scare us away
00:47:54how do you feel about that why ask me how should i know i don't believe there are any
00:48:03the moon people do you i'm convinced it's possible someone could have made it all up to
00:48:12frighten us off they're ridiculous
00:48:16yes
00:48:21dr heinrich look to dr heinrich
00:48:42Everybody go below, please.
00:48:44Dr. Heinrich suffered from a heart attack.
00:48:52Father, why did you do it?
00:48:56Father, how can I ever live down to your crime?
00:49:02I hate the name of Bernhard.
00:49:07I cannot go on being Heinrich Bernhard any longer.
00:49:11What are you saying? What do you mean?
00:49:15I will be Heinrich Heinrich.
00:49:18Heinrich Heinrich.
00:49:28You are the son of Bernhard.
00:49:33The man who wiped out my entire family.
00:49:38Yes.
00:49:40Oh, my God.
00:49:44It haunted me all my life.
00:49:48I did everything humanly possible
00:49:51to make good for my father's crime.
00:49:55Can you understand?
00:50:01Can you still be my friend?
00:50:10Rest now.
00:50:13The same symbols.
00:50:15Translator, please, Zadekow.
00:50:19Please, Zadekow.
00:50:19Strangers from Earth.
00:50:20Before you depart, we must have one thing.
00:50:24You will leave behind...
00:50:26the two cats.
00:50:32Cats have a most unusual appeal for us,
00:50:35but unfortunately we have none here on the moon.
00:50:37They interest us almost as much...
00:50:41as the two human beings who joined us.
00:50:49Turn it off, Louis.
00:50:53Think it's wise to open those doors again for the two cats?
00:50:57Well, I think so.
00:50:58I'll go.
00:51:00I'll go with you.
00:51:19Please!
00:51:22Please!
00:51:22Please!
00:51:38We left the surface of the moon at 6700.
00:51:41This decision was based on the warning
00:51:43which emanated from those mysterious symbols.
00:51:46Even though we were in doubt
00:51:47of the survival of Selim and Sigrid,
00:51:49we had to make a quick decision
00:51:51in order not to jeopardize our mission.
00:52:00Three hours and ten minutes on flight.
00:52:02We're right on the button.
00:52:03We've just passed a neutral line
00:52:04operating towards the Earth's gravitational pull.
00:52:15Take over.
00:52:24John!
00:52:36John!
00:52:38John!
00:52:39John!
00:52:43John!
00:52:46John!
00:52:48John!
00:52:53It can't burn in there, no oxygen. Quick thinking, Louis.
00:52:56I think the dog should have the medal.
00:53:00That was a close one.
00:53:01Well, I better get up and relieve Ruskin.
00:53:03It was well named, the Medeire stone.
00:53:07The oxygen fused it into fire when it came in contact with the gold.
00:53:11Let me fix it for you.
00:53:13Oh, it's not too bad.
00:53:23Lunar Eagle One to Central Earth Control.
00:53:25Do you hear us, Central Earth Control?
00:53:27Earth Control to Lunar Eagle One.
00:53:29We hear you.
00:53:30We hear you, Lunar Eagle One.
00:53:33We have your position.
00:53:35Why did you leave the moon?
00:53:38We had an urgent departure.
00:53:39Please give us our position.
00:53:41Your position?
00:53:43Come in, Central Earth Control.
00:53:45We've lost you.
00:53:46We've lost you, Central Earth Control.
00:53:48Come in.
00:53:53Come in, Central Control.
00:54:01I don't understand it.
00:54:02We've lost Earth contact completely.
00:54:05Remember what the people on the moon said?
00:54:07They have the power to immobilize us at will.
00:54:10Oh, don't say that.
00:54:11But they said it.
00:54:13It could be true.
00:54:16Sam.
00:54:17Lie down, Dr. Heinrich.
00:54:19There's nothing you can do now.
00:54:20We're on our way back to Earth.
00:54:22I missed the takeoff.
00:54:24I missed it all.
00:54:25Lie down.
00:54:26Please.
00:54:27Please.
00:54:28Navigator to Captain.
00:54:30Meteor crust is directly ahead.
00:54:32Point three.
00:54:32Four, point three.
00:54:34Check.
00:54:35Run.
00:54:43Point one.
00:54:45Zero minus Xe.
00:55:01Two swarms of media clusters.
00:55:03Horizontal, 10 degrees.
00:55:04Ventical, 22 degrees.
00:55:06Direct point of contact.
00:55:07Lunar to equal one.
00:55:09Over here, Rod.
00:55:13It's, uh, no, wait, wait.
00:55:22Try.
00:55:23I can only try once.
00:55:24Okay, wait, wait.
00:55:31Point five.
00:55:33Point seven and five tenths.
00:55:37I hope.
00:55:55We are all clear.
00:55:59Roddy, you did better than you ever did in any isolation booth.
00:56:02Isolation booth?
00:56:05I guess our invention didn't work so good this time.
00:56:09Your German scientists did not perfect it.
00:56:13He's absolutely right.
00:56:15You are brilliant, my boy.
00:56:17You're much better than I.
00:56:18You saved us all, including him.
00:56:21Me?
00:56:22I must still put my faith in the electronic brain.
00:56:25There is no substitute for such a human brain.
00:56:28Me?
00:56:31Mekonnen, report.
00:56:32Vigus, check radar.
00:56:33Cannot identify objects.
00:56:37Nothing registers on radar.
00:56:39Check the mechanical equipment.
00:56:43All equipment okay.
00:57:01Captain Anderson to entire personnel.
00:57:03Counter-reversal accomplished.
00:57:05We are on orbit at 500 miles above Earth.
00:57:08Assemble on A-deck, please.
00:57:15A-deck-o, get the, uh, TV camera ready to photograph Earth for us.
00:57:19Yes, Captain.
00:57:21Louie, check the radio again.
00:57:23Check.
00:57:24No, no.
00:57:25Thank, thank you, thank you.
00:57:26I feel fine.
00:57:27Let me stand on my own two feet.
00:57:30See?
00:57:30I told you it's only a passing thing.
00:57:33John, I feel that I must advise her.
00:57:35There is something wrong.
00:57:37Something unexplainable.
00:57:38I know, I know, Mekonnen, but everything is working perfectly in the ship.
00:57:42I'm cold.
00:57:43Me too.
00:57:44Most unusual.
00:57:46That's what I wanted to tell you, John.
00:57:48Outside temperature rating is 245 degrees below and still falling.
00:57:52It's no wonder it's cold in here.
00:57:54It's 55 degrees.
00:57:56Vargas, check the heat.
00:57:57Check.
00:58:01Captain, quick!
00:58:04Vargas.
00:58:13Why, why, this thing is moving.
00:58:17From the North Pole towards New York.
00:58:25Captain Anderson.
00:58:31I'm getting a reception, Captain Anderson.
00:58:34Good.
00:58:35It's a little blurred, but I think I can clear the picture.
00:58:43Well, that's some picture.
00:58:45Nothing's moving.
00:58:46Something must be jammed in the TV.
00:58:49Try New York.
00:58:51Try New York.
00:59:03There is something wrong with it.
00:59:06You know, I checked carefully.
00:59:07The machine's in perfect order.
00:59:21Credit.
00:59:32This is flash freezing.
00:59:35Vargas, do you agree?
00:59:36I agree.
00:59:38By some scientific means, they, whoever they are,
00:59:41have found a way to freeze all molecular activity.
00:59:45Those whizzing noises.
00:59:47In other words, they have frozen the lower atmosphere
00:59:50by extracting all thermospatics.
00:59:53But how could that be possible?
00:59:55Sounds very simple.
00:59:57It is the principle of the hydrogen bomb in reverse.
01:00:01I agree with you.
01:00:03Through some superior device,
01:00:05they found a means of achieving a glacial phenomenon.
01:00:08Implosion bombs.
01:00:09That must have been that strange noise.
01:00:13I somehow feel it's an earthly power.
01:00:16Gentlemen, let's make no mistake.
01:00:18Our situation is extremely serious.
01:00:21We are caught in orbit.
01:00:24In order to survive,
01:00:25we have to remain at our present altitude.
01:00:29How long?
01:00:30I don't know.
01:00:31Until we find the solution.
01:00:33Let's go to work.
01:00:37John, I'm getting London.
01:00:42Nothing like this has ever happened before.
01:00:44For the past 10 hours,
01:00:45the North American continent remains in an isolation of silence.
01:00:49No contact can be established by any means of communication
01:00:51with either Canada, the United States, or Mexico.
01:00:54In spite of the intense cold gripping the world,
01:00:57the governing bodies of every other nation
01:00:59are at this moment in extraordinary session
01:01:01determining measures to be taken.
01:01:02Stand by.
01:01:04We will keep you informed.
01:01:05We now return to our regular program.
01:01:07No wonder all communication is shut off.
01:01:10You know,
01:01:10I don't think we could even come down out of our final orbit.
01:01:14I'm afraid you're right, Louis.
01:01:17We are insulated.
01:01:18We are safe in here.
01:01:20Yes, but for how long?
01:01:22I don't know.
01:01:23We're operating now under automatic control.
01:01:25How about the engines, Martel?
01:01:27The engines?
01:01:29The engines are overworked.
01:01:31It's only a matter of time before the turbines give out.
01:01:36To have come so close to success.
01:01:39Yes.
01:01:40This may work.
01:01:42It simply has to.
01:01:44Listen.
01:01:47Our emergency space taxi works on atomic power.
01:01:50Right?
01:01:51Right.
01:01:51We must fashion a powerful atom bomb
01:01:55by assembling and uniting
01:01:57a number of bomblets
01:01:58such as we used on the moon.
01:02:01Two men
01:02:02drawn by lot
01:02:05should pilot the taxi
01:02:06over a live volcano.
01:02:08I'm thinking of Popocatipale, of course.
01:02:10And drop the bomb into the crater.
01:02:12The result of the explosion
01:02:14might thaw the big freeze.
01:02:15Yes, but
01:02:16how will the space taxi
01:02:19crash through the frozen atmosphere?
01:02:21Penetration rocket.
01:02:23As it disperses
01:02:25the micrometeoric clouds,
01:02:26it should break an opening
01:02:28for the space taxi to go through.
01:02:30Yes.
01:02:31It could be piloted through frozen space, but...
01:02:34But...
01:02:35we have to inform you
01:02:37that it might disintegrate
01:02:39in the explosion.
01:02:42That's why I said
01:02:43the two men should be drawn by lot.
01:02:45Because
01:02:47their chances to return
01:02:49to the Luna Hill
01:02:51are quite remote.
01:02:58John.
01:03:00It is worth the risk
01:03:01to break up the big freeze,
01:03:02which paralyzes not only the country,
01:03:04but the whole continent.
01:03:05You know as I,
01:03:06this is our duty,
01:03:07our only hope.
01:03:09And gentlemen,
01:03:10it's our only chance
01:03:12to accomplish our mission
01:03:14and bring the ship
01:03:15back to Earth.
01:03:20Very well.
01:03:21We'll make the bomb.
01:03:33Careful now.
01:03:34Don't drop it.
01:03:36There.
01:03:37It's ready.
01:03:38Shall I?
01:03:39Tell the others
01:03:40it's okay now?
01:03:41Yes.
01:03:42Go ahead.
01:03:53What are you doing?
01:03:56I have merely finished it.
01:03:58You disconnected it,
01:04:00you crazy man.
01:04:02But you don't understand.
01:04:04This is our chance.
01:04:06Think.
01:04:06If the North American continent
01:04:08were to remain frozen,
01:04:10your greatest rival
01:04:11would be powerless.
01:04:13I am one with you,
01:04:14don't you see?
01:04:15This way,
01:04:16we control the West
01:04:17and ultimately the world.
01:04:19What do you mean,
01:04:20we?
01:04:23You're not one of us.
01:04:25I'm not only a scientist,
01:04:27I'm also a human being,
01:04:28not an insane murderer.
01:04:30You traitor!
01:04:31I betray no one,
01:04:33particularly not myself.
01:04:35I want to live too.
01:04:36Peppert!
01:04:48Anderson!
01:04:50Anderson!
01:04:51Anderson!
01:04:53Anderson!
01:04:57Anderson!
01:04:58Anderson!
01:04:58Help!
01:04:59Anderson!
01:05:01Anderson!
01:05:12You tried to sabotage the bomb.
01:05:15Is it all right now?
01:05:16All I have to do is reset the fuse.
01:05:40I am one to go.
01:05:46And I am the other.
01:05:50None of us is free
01:05:51to choose his ancestors
01:05:53or his deeds,
01:05:55good or bad.
01:05:59God bless you all.
01:06:01Till we meet again.
01:06:16This may complete
01:06:17the last portion
01:06:19of our space log
01:06:20as recorded
01:06:20by Dr. David Ruskin.
01:06:23At 0600
01:06:24Universal Time,
01:06:26a space taxi
01:06:27piloted by Dr.
01:06:28Eric Heinrich
01:06:29and myself
01:06:30will leave
01:06:31the Lunar Eagle
01:06:32to drop atomic bomblets
01:06:33into the crater
01:06:34of the volcano
01:06:34Popocata petal
01:06:37in an attempt
01:06:38to break the big freeze.
01:06:42This is Dr. Ruskin
01:06:44signing off.
01:07:07You take care of them, will you?
01:07:10You take care of them, will you?
01:07:36Dr. Ruskin to Captain Anderson.
01:07:38Cabin pressure equal.
01:07:41Ready for launch.
01:07:46Penetration rocket.
01:08:01Ready?
01:08:14David, we'll be over the target
01:08:16in one minute
01:08:17and 12 seconds.
01:08:21It's the first time
01:08:22you called me David.
01:08:24I'm sorry you're my partner
01:08:25and this David.
01:08:27I'd hope that you
01:08:29will carry on my work.
01:08:34You don't think
01:08:35we'll survive this?
01:08:38I don't know.
01:08:40If the bomb works,
01:08:43if you pull out in time.
01:08:48Set the bomb release, David.
01:08:53The bomb's ready.
01:08:56We'll be over the target
01:08:57in 12 seconds.
01:08:59Hold the course.
01:09:01Holding steady.
01:09:05Ready for release.
01:09:08Five.
01:09:10Four.
01:09:13Two.
01:09:14One.
01:09:15Zero.
01:09:22They've dropped it,
01:09:23Captain Anderson.
01:09:37It worked.
01:09:39It worked.
01:09:46Put out the end.
01:09:47Put out.
01:09:49I can't.
01:09:50It's pulling us down.
01:09:51I can't.
01:09:53The bomb wasn't slamming up.
01:09:57They're in trouble.
01:10:03What are we going to do?
01:10:07God bless you, David.
01:10:36It was the will of God.
01:10:44I was afraid they wouldn't make it, even though I prayed.
01:10:53John! John, we are caught in the big freeze!
01:10:58It's so cold. Switching back to chemical fuel.
01:11:04It's no use. It won't work.
01:11:07The freeze, it's filling the ship.
01:11:10The visibility is almost zero.
01:11:13John, look, look.
01:11:51We're frozen in space.
01:11:54The freeze.
01:12:29The echo. The echo is the same symbol.
01:12:34Will you translate them?
01:12:38Vargas.
01:12:40The echo. Please. Please.
01:12:49It says,
01:12:51Now you have seen our strength,
01:12:56but we have seen your human strength
01:13:00and the way your people have sacrificed themselves
01:13:05to save the others.
01:13:08Through those you left behind,
01:13:11we have also learned that
01:13:13all your earthly emotions are not evil and warlike,
01:13:19that you have come to us in peace.
01:13:22Your people on Earth have been in suspended animation
01:13:27and have not been harmed.
01:13:31Return to Earth at once,
01:13:33and someday, when you come back,
01:13:37you will be welcome.
01:13:45Lunar Eagle One.

01:13:49Do you hear me?
01:13:52Captain Anderson, stand by for the director of the ISO.
01:13:55No.
01:13:57Captain, I have no words to express our feelings
01:14:01that you made it back.
01:14:03Something most unusual has happened to us
01:14:05in the last 16 hours.
01:14:07We cannot explain it.
01:14:09You were lucky to have escaped it all.
01:14:12Prepare for landing.
01:14:29The End
