What happens

Rocketship X-M (also known as Expedition Moon and originally Rocketship Expedition Moon) is a 1950 American black-and-white science-fiction film from Lippert Pictures, the first outer-space adventure of the post-World War II era. The film was produced and directed by Kurt Neumann and stars Lloyd Bridges, Osa Massen, John Emery, Noah Beery Jr., Hugh O'Brian and Morris Ankrum. Rocketship X-M tells the story of a Moon expedition gone awry. Through a series of unforeseen events, the expedition's crew find themselves on Mars. They discover the remnants of a Martian civilization destroyed long ago by atomic war and now reverted to barbarism. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
