One of those great little independent sci-fi film gems with a 50's retro feel that come out of nowhere. Shot in black and white, enjoyable to watch with a mix of mystery and humor. It is about 5 returning astronauts stranded when they crashland in a desert. I am a big sci-fi film buff and it lived up to my expectations. I highly recommend this film. So treat yourself, like they say get some popcorn, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
Decent movie, but could've been summed up into a 30 minute twilight zone episode watch the first 10 minutes and then fast forward to the last 20 minutes there's nothing to miss in between
For those expecting an homage to 1950s sci-fi outer space movies, you'll be sadly disappointed. There's very little action in this clunker that revolves around five astronauts returning from Mars who crash land on earth. If you like close-ups of the five actors, then you will enjoy this film. The first 2/3 of the film is nothing but close-ups and dialogue as the astronauts try to find a way to survive in the desert. It's only in the last third of the film that some action begins to take place. Very little action, however. The acting is stiff and there are no scene changes to speak of. Maybe the best thing about the entire film is the production value from the opening credits.
Not recommended!

Or rather, the dawn of grindhouse; including the "film" "burning"; and jumping ahead to another scene. Tongue in cheek; with some jokes actually working. Another movie from among the many odds and ends streaming for free on Tubi. It will finally get seen there, I guess.
I really enjoyed this sci-fi adventure film. It had a little bit of everything including lots of "conflict" when things start going bad. Excellent cast and a few surprise twists & turns along the way including a big twist at the end of the film! (Sorry... no spoilers, you'll have to see this film for yourself). :)
