Synopsis. DESTINATION MOON (1950) was produced by the legendary George Pal (see his WWW.IMDb.Com bio), and was one of the first great full color 1950's sci-fi outer space thrillers which later included WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE (1951), THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953), THIS ISLAND EARTH (1955), and FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956).
Destination Moon starts with a failed rocket test, not an auspicious start if you're planning to ride one to the moon. That doesn't deter a General and his industrialist buddy who, sparked by Cold War fever, decide that the US has to get to the moon first.
