How it feels
Four astronauts crash land on Mars and encounter bizarre phenomena and a projection of a wizard who delivers a long speech. The movie reimagines the Wizard of Oz story as a low budget science fiction adventure about human limitations.

What happens
The Wizard of Mars is a 1965 American science fiction film directed and co-written by David L. Hewitt. It is loosely based on L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The title character is portrayed by John Carradine, who gives a lengthy monologue as a projection near the end of the film. The film contrasts with Baum's novel by depicting the constraints of human aspirations. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
