Missile to the Moon

1958 · 78 min

A creaky, charmingly absurd space adventure with paper-thin logic, rubbery monsters, and a catfight, best enjoyed as a laughably earnest B-movie.

Lunar She-Devils Lure Earthmen Into Their Lair of Doom!
Overview
Two escaped convicts are found hiding in a rocketship built by a renegade inventor, who forces them to become the crew for a trip to the Moon. Also on board, as inadvertent stowaways, are his assistant and his secretary; and none of them are aware that the inventor is actually a Lunarian explorer sent to Earth by the dying Lunar civilization and the only remaining male member of that civilization.
