A film from the holdings of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung
A scientist discovers that there is gold on the far side of the moon. Together with a team of researchers, opportunists and a stowaway, he flies into space on a rocket to explore the moon's surface. But the rivalry among the crew soon has catastrophic consequences.
With enormous visual ingenuity (with special effects and camera work by Oskar Fischinger, among others), Fritz Lang not only created one of the last great silent films in German film history, he also created a technological highlight that has had a lasting influence on cinema and cinema. space travel itself. This creates an imaginative film full of space travel, espionage and a fatal love triangle, based on a book by Thea von Harbou.
