The film is based on the British TV serial by Nigel Kneale. It centers on Professor Quatermass who attempts to carry out his secret project which is relative to lunar colonization. who will support his idea?
A wonderfully entertaining British science fiction story with Donlevy flinty as the single-minded Quartermass.

Val Guest's direction is as uncertain as script on which he collabs with Nigel Kneale [author of original story], with the result that all characters are stodgy.
