The Doomsday Machine
In this sci-fi movie, the world faces imminent destruction by a Chinese doomsday device set to activate in 72 hours. In response, the US Space Program accelerates the launch of Astra, a spacecraft on a mission to Venus. To ensure humanity's survival, the crew is made up of men and women tasked with restarting the human race.
A retro sci-fi thriller that taps into Cold War anxiety and existential stakes. This is for viewers who dig campy 70s space opera with genuine tension—where humanity's last hope rides on a desperate mission to Venus.
