Battle Beyond the Sun
Jul 28, 2007
Francis Ford Coppola, USA, 1963, 16mm, 90 min
In this visually spectacular outer space adventure, two post-nuclear nations race against the clock to reach the planet Mars and claim dominance over a world beyond imagination. Commissioned by drive-in legend Roger Corman, directed by Francis Ford Coppola (his first film!) BATTLE BEYOND THE SUN was derived from the Soviet sci-fi epic HEAVENS CALL. The duo added new scenes to the original, re-wrote the dialogue and literally re-edited the whole thing to create this drive-in favorite!
