Film Description
Mark Gatiss stars in his own adaptation of HG Wells' thrilling scientific fiction, The First Men In The Moon, made for BBC Four.
In July 1969, as the world waits for news of the Apollo 11 astronauts, a young boy meets 90-year-old Julius Bedford (Rory Kinnear) who tells the story of his own extraordinary journey to the Moon 60 years earlier.
The year is 1909. Bankrupt businessman Julius Bedford is going nowhere – until he meets the eccentric scientist Professor Cavor. Because Cavor has invented an extraordinary substance. Anything it touches becomes lighter than air! Together, the two men devise a wild scheme - why not go to the Moon? But there they find the apparently lifeless world isn't quite as dead as it seems. Soon Bedford and Cavor are pitched into a thrilling struggle deep beneath the Moon's surface and an encounter with its terrifying alien masters – the Selenites!
