Growing up in Milford Michigan deep in the country my dad and i watched the Sci-Fi movie of week. It was Saturday nights. Im 65 yrs old. All these classic movies i have seen before . We would have freshly made Hot popcorn and a Pepsi. To this day i only watch classic movies. Im not a fan of movies made in today's world. Watching a good classic like this movie i find as intrigued today as i was as that little boy eating Popcorn and enjoying My dad worked through the week and would be tired. But Saturdays i was his top priority to make sure i had a wonderful Saturday. I was a only child.Im so blessed to have had the loving parents i had.As a little boy my mom taught me how to cook and do things. She said someday I would be married and shared responsibilities are important in being married. Im happily married and have a family i wonder if parents today take the time to do things as parents did back then. For some reason this movie brought back memories and good memories they are, ❤

"Battle Beyond the Sun" is a 1962 science fiction film. It is an English-dubbed and re-edited American version of "Nebo Zovyot", a 1959 Soviet science fiction film. Roger Corman acquired the Soviet film for US distribution and hired a young film-school student named Francis Ford Coppola to "Americanize" it. Like the original Soviet Nebo Zovyot, Battle Beyond the Sun is a tale of a "space race" between two nations competing to become the first to land a spacecraft on the planet Mars; unlike the original, in which the competing nations are the USSR and the US, Battle Beyond the Sun focuses on the fictional future countries of North Hemis and South Hemis. The names of not only the Soviet characters, but also their performers, and the crew credits as well, were altered on the screen to American-sounding names in order to further disguise the film's origins: thus Soviet stars Aleksandr Shvorin and Ivan Pereverzev became "Andy Stewart" and "Edd Perry", and Soviet directors Mikhail Karyukov and Aleksandr Kozyr became "Maurice Kaplin" and "Arthur Corwin" - and were demoted to Assistant Director status as well. The Overlook Film Guide: Science-Fiction remarked: "(One) remains impressed with Corman's cheek and financial astuteness than with the finished film." While recommending the original version, The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction called the Americanized version "butchered" (Wikipedia)

Come on, guys - it's nothing about Roger Corman, it is - definitely - the Soviet sci-fi movie "Nebo Zovet" ("The Sky Is Calling"), filmed in 1959 at Dovzhenko Studio under the direction of Alexander Kozyr and Michail Kriukov.
I never heard of this movie before... that said: In 1959, he made Battle Beyond the Sun. In 1980, Roger Corman felt one sun wasn't enough....so he made Battle Beyond the Stars! (One of my favorite movies as a kid, and a nice tribute to Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven ...which also featured Robert Vaughan).

If it's the same movie that I think it is, it was also re-edited again. It was called Voyage To The Planet Of Prehistoric Women. Somewhere in storage I have a copy of both. The second time they edited in a bunch of scenes with women in leather bikinis. It's one of the worst B movies I've ever seen. Actually it's more like a Z movie, that's how bad it was.

I believe that in the 50s America and the USSR trusted each other more and there was friendship. Of course, between nations, ordinary people. This does not concern politicians in power. There was an exchange of knowledge between scientists. Now science is stomping on the spot. Corporations (TNCs), greedy for money, are to blame for everything. They don't understand that they won't take anything with them to the next world.
The Wiki on this flick is mind-blowing!!!

It's "sci-fi". Forrest J. Ackerman coined the term.
J'ai vu quelques classiques du cinéma de science fiction avec mes parents dans les années 1968-69 sur notre télévision en noir et blanc (War of the World, Forbidden Planet et les séries TV Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea ; the Invaders...) Je ne connaissais pas ce film, mais je le trouve super ! Et bien supérieur à ce que l'on peut voir aujourd'hui ! Merci beaucoup du partage !
You may have seen on KZread short vids of modern movies if they were made in the 50s. For instance the movies Star Wars or Alien if they were 1950s movies. This is frankly a complete movie in the style those vids are trying to emulate. Its amazing to see.
I love these old SciFi movies. The dream of the future but they are a picture of their time when they have been produced. This movie has been influenced by the cold war after WWII and the wish for world peace.

I was rather impressed with the production quality of this film. And the dubbing into English was done fairly neatly. I understand that in translating and editing the film is not quite what the Soviet union initially produced. However, since this is the only version available in English that I know of it’s better to at least see, this beautiful film than to never see it at all
Thank you for uploading this. There is a very good movie in there and I am impressed!

The later '60s Star Trek was television and had a shoestring budget by comparison, while having to make dozens of episodes on said budget. Try comparing apples to apples, not to horseshoes.
So this is how Coppola got started. Who could have known how far he would go?
I like the design of the space station.
Super! Thank you very much!

Roger Corman vs Ed Wood, Who wins? If there were such a contest I’d probably vote for Corman just on the strength of his Edgar Allan Poe films and The Little Shop of Horrors and some other films, plus being a mentor to such directors as Coppola, Scorsese and Peter Bogdanovich, not that one can’t still respect Plan 9 from Outer Space, Glen and Glenda, Bride of the Monster etc. They were both two unique film directors.

This is an edited american version. Battle Beyond the Sun started as a state-sponsored Russian sci-fi movie called Nebo Zovyat- a breath-taking, prophetic vision of the Soviet Union's journey into space; in the disrespectful hands of opportunistic producer Roger Corman and a young and eager-to-please Francis Ford Coppola, what was once awe-inspiring becomes laughable, the pair badly dubbing and drastically re-editing the original two hour epic to a mere 64-minutes of clumsy space melodrama (albeit it with impressive effects), 'enhanced' by silly inserts of space monsters

This is almost a different film. I found the original Soviet film to be more interesting and complete.
I had to suspend my disbelief a little when the North Hemis left to Mars with only a few hours of prep time 😁
Did no one think of telling the Northern Hemis lads that they went in the wrong direction for Mars, since they found themselevs pulled in towards the sun? And what a feat that was for the Southern Hemis lads - heading for Mars, then going back towards the sun to collect the men in danger and then ending up on a rock orbiting Mars almost in touching distsnce of the red planet. No wonder they ran out of fuel!
Awesome Sci-Fi!!!! 😎

"Why Russian star on spaceship and red coloured suits ?" - Because it's the Soviet movie "The Sky I Calling", filmed in 1959, and a bit edited and translated into English in 1962 by Corman.
Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey used drawings and graphics solutions from Nebo Zovyot created by the fiction artist Yuri Shvets
I wonder if this is the original score? The main theme or melody is very reminiscent of Destination Moo n (1950)
