When penniless businessman Mr. Bedford retreats to the Kent coast
to write a play, he meets by chance the brilliant Dr. Cavor, an
absentminded scientist on the brink of developing a material that
blocks gravity. Cavor soon succeeds in his experiments, only to
tell a stunned Bedford that the invention makes possible one of the
oldest dreams of humanity: a journey to the moon. With Bedford
motivated by money, and Cavor by the desire for knowledge, the two
embark on the expedition. But neither are prepared for what they
find?a world of freezing nights, boiling days, and sinister alien
life, in which they may be trapped forever.
