In the post nuclear future of 1997, the two remaining countries on Earth compete to become the first to reach Mars. One unexpectedly launches a rocket from the international space station, prompting the other to follow shortly after with their own. Complications arise in route forcing them to cooperate in order to survive. Some good special effects, especially the miniature models, but cold and aloof. Francis Ford Coppola supervised this Americanized version by re-editing and dubbing a Russian film made a few years earlier.
