- Battle Beyond the Sun is the English-dubbed, re-edited U.S. version of Nebo Zovyot, a 1959 Soviet science fiction film directed by Mikhail Karyukov and Aleksandr Kozyr. It tells of the "space race" of two future nations competing to become the first to land a spacecraft on the planet Mars.
Roger Corman acquired the film for US distribution and hired a young film-school student named Francis Ford Coppola to Americanize it. In addition to preparing a dubbing script free of anti-American propaganda and all references to the USSR, and supervising the dubbing, Coppola slightly re-edited the footage, eliminated the framing "daydream" sequences, and even saw to it that a pastel rhombus shape was matted in on a shot-by-shot basis, to cover the Cyrillic letters CCCP (USSR) which adorned the space station and Soviet rocketships.
Coppola also had filmed a few shots of two space monsters fighting and cut them into the Soviet material. According to Jack Hill, who worked on the new version (it was his first paid job for Roger Corman), Coppola's idea was that one monster would look like a penis and the other a vagina. The new monster scenes were shot on a sound stage in Hollywood. Hill and Coppola also shot some footage of the Rose Parade at Pasadena.
The film opens with a non-sequitur prologue in which a narrator voice explains space flight concepts. Models of space craft "currently under development by the United States Government" are shown in succession. The narrator usefully explains that "the motion picture you are about to see may be called 'a fantasy of the future'."
The time: November 1997. In the "fear-ridden years following the great atomic war", the world has been divided into northern and southern hemispheres. The two countries, North Hemis and South Hemis, are clearly analogues for the United States and Soviet Union. The camera zooms in toward the South Hemis banner. Dr. Albert Gordon and his wife, Dr. Ruth Gordon, currently head the top secret "Project Red Planet" for South Hemis. (The footage we see is dubbed from the original Russian-Soviet; names have been Anglicized.) A space mission - more re-purposed footage - blasts off for an orbiting space station. The mission docks with the station, delivering the Gordons as well as Astronaut Craig Matthews.
South Hemis has been developing the Mercury, a spacecraft which should be able to complete a mission to Mars. Solar and orbital conditions are favorable. Suddenly, another spacecraft is detected approaching the station. It is from North Hemis. It requests and receives permission to land for emergency repairs. The two North Hemis astronauts - Captain Torrance and his co-pilot Dr. Martin - are treated to dinner by their South Hemis hosts. Dr. Gordon reveals that they themselves are about to commence a flight to Mars. The two North Hemis astronauts decide to end dinner, because "it's getting late".
Captain Torrance confers with his superiors in North Hemis. He wants to preempt the South Hemis flight to Mars with their own mission. Meanwhile, Dr. Martin meets with Dr. Gordon to discuss both missions. The North Hemis astronaut refuses to divulge any information about the North Hemis plan. Captain Torrance says, "I cannot accept defeat." He disconnects from his North Hemis superiors and barges in on the meeting between Dr. Martin and Dr. Gordon. Outside in the corridor, Captain Torrance decides to proceed with the flight to Mars anyway. "Our repairs may not hold up," says Dr. Martin. They decide to commandeer their rocketship - the Typhoon - under cover of trying to repair it. They blast off at full power. Paul Clinton, a South Hemis astronaut, is caught in the rocket back blast and is injured. Meanwhile, the Typhoon sets course for Mars.
Paul Clinton is diagnosed with a concussion and cannot go on the Mars mission; Dr. Gordon will go with Craig Matthews. The Mercury launches. Meanwhile, the Typhoon encounters a meteor storm, and its course veers dangerously close to the sun. The ship is disabled. The Mercury locates the Typhoon and eventually intercepts it. Matthews effects an EVA transfer of the two North Hemis astronauts. The South Hemis ship abandons the Typhoon to space ...

I love how the height of technology is reclining chairs so they keep showing that over and over
We Humans go nowhere without our "Lazyboy" comfy chairs! 😅
Imagine having to mask frame by frame any ‘CCCP’s from the spaceships rockets and hangar/space station did an incredible job
Those who don't remember the future are doomed to repeat it in the past.

That doesn't make any sense
Love the statement! It appeals to my quirky side. 😅
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar yes it does and it makes too much sense
The name of the vessel they are landing on 1:03:20 is, “Of Course I Still Love You”.
Interesting how they called the moon lander "Apollo" at the beginning - that was pretty astute because the name was only chosen in early 1960, so they had very good information sources when Coppolla put this together in 1961 or 1962, and that capsule and lander are damn good projections for then.
I saw this movie at the age of six in 1959 when it was first released! I still love it as hokey as it is!
Associate producer - Francis Ford Coppola. In 1959 he mst have been 18.
The Creatures haunted my dreams for a long time as a child.
Thanks for uploading...
You and me both!!!
I wonder if associate producer Frankie Coppolla ever made it in Hollywood.
I think he went on to do a couple of decent flix!!🤣🤣🤣
@@scottbarksdale3850 I do recall seeing a couple of movies with the name Sofia Coppolla. Maybe she's the talented member of the family.
@@chrisoleson9570 It's been tough on Frankie living in her shadow!

thank you for posting that film I seen it many years ago I've enjoyed watching it again
From the era when my parents had me looking for the Echo satellite outside at dusk in 1960. I was four years old and this is a memory fragment as we were visiting my maternal grandparents at the time.
I was 13 in 1960, but seeing Echo could have been before my birthday. My father and brother and some neighborhood friends built a fire out back where we had a clear view and cooked hot dogs, while waiting for the Echo satellite to pass over and it did right on schedule. We also just talked and waited 90 minutes for it to come over again, only the next time it came over from a different angle and crossed the sky in a different direction. This was because of the Earth's rotation. We had moved during that time and not the Echo satellite. We had a lot of fun watching it.
@@GGE47 What a fine memory you've shared. Your description goes a long way to making me see it through your eyes.
My memory of seeing Echo is more like a series of screen-grabs. What stands out too is my parents and grandparents wanting me to be in on the fun.
LOL been there... on camping trips.
Fantastic, thank-you for posting this movie!
Amazing that they knew how the Earth looked from space in Russian film making in 1959. That the Earth atmosphere gave a soft blue fuzz around the Earth etc.
Fascinating.
Not too many people will understand what you're saying about this movie. Nobody pays attention to the details anymore. They believe the lies they are taught.
Yes, comrades, we know the truth!
None of these heathens knows how earth looks from heaven unless........😈🔫
Thank you for posting this movies.
Yeah. Maybe that's why the Soviets deployed their rockets in Cuba two years later, in 1961
Last saw this movie as a kid in the 70's. I specifically remember them jumping from the one ship to the other during the rescue near the Sun, and then later them standing on the small moon looking at Mars and remarking how it was so close but they hadn't made it. For years I had tried internet searches to discover the name of the movie, but never found it because the only clue I had remembered about the movie was incorrect - I had thought the names of the two ship's were "Hyperion" and "Typhoon". Thanks for posting....a real blast from the past.
This was maked in 1959 dude. It was a Russian maked movie as called Nebo zovyot (original title) which is means THE SKY CALLS and thened it was released to ined the USA at 1962 and named BATTLE BEYOND THE SUN.
From at IMDb.com : www.imdb.com/title/tt0053103/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
love this stuff back the late 60's the future was still bright

Wearing a tie in space. Leafing through an in-flight magazine during liftoff. The Space X vertical landing on a floating platform at the end. Great stuff. The monsters were a bizarre touch. Freud would have been proud.
😀😀😀
🤔🤔🥴
👏🏼😂😂😂
near the end of movie ..the cosmonauts on the speedboat waving...reminded me of the go-go's vacation video
The spacesuits are far better than the Teletubby onesies used in "First Spaceship On Venus"! 😅
Thank goodness North and South Hemis have universal space docking!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Earth is a level Plane, Sherlock...
@@mulder2400 well that was way above your noggin we see
I know what are the chances Lol 😂
Awesome Soviet sci-fi.......loved it! Speciba..
Back when you'd take your date to the
Drive-In theater .... fool around in the
back seat and not watch the movie...
Beautiful sets. Good soundtrack too!
0:20 The Apollo spacecraft 10 years later looked almost identical to this. Very good.
1:03:17 This looks an awful lot like Space-X landing a rocket on one of those floating barges.
Not bad for 1959.
Ikr or is it al still science fiction
I love how they burn the engines the whole way to Mars.
Its a flim dum dum
They used bio-astro-diesel fuel.
and had to recline the seats to burn the rockets in space.
@@Griffin24712978 Really?
@@riverraisin1 Ya. I'm guessing stopping at Mars won't be on your check list. :)
The amazing sets and the colours are the main reason for watching this film. The title is very misleading there is no battle beyond the sun,you get a couple of monsters having a fight but that's it.Thanks for posting.
Also, there is nowhere beyond the Sun, since we orbit the thing every year
Can't be a Roger Corman movie without some cheesy monsters plugged in somewhere! 😅
Thank you!!! ✨🤗✨I need this channel in my life. Stay Well Friend. ✨💫✨🤗✨
Fascinating background story! I notice that Coppola's editing out of Soviet visuals slips near the end. A red star appears on a spaceship's tail fin during the final takeoff scene. Then, after returning to Earth, the "astronauts" are greeted by cute kids in Young Pioneer uniforms.
This was Russian made. American company bought it & hired Coppola to make some monsters.
I'll put this on my list. I like to watch old sci fi and horror during October. Halloween thing
Dr. Ruth Hubba Hubba Hubba! I'm thinking that would be the first set of 'D's on Mars... You can only set that record once.
Absolutely amazing sets and cinematography! Not surprising that the young Coppola had a hand in this production....
Coppola had no hand in these sets or cinematography. This was a Russian production, bought later by an American company. They hired Coppola to make some monsters, then inserted that footage for no good reason.
un clásico de cine y una película de culto con grandes actores hecha por un gran director
Love the accidental accuracies with the total balls ups these early sci-fi movies made, it's why I love them so much.
I gotta say that effects in this movie were for the time. Nobody in America was doing anything like this until the 70's!
i think u need to review yr usa sci fi movie history boy
Yes they did something in 1960 which beat any film
And 61 years later hardly anything done in space landed on the moon 10 years after this film stay tuned will be back right after this station identification
CAUSE SPACE DOESNT EXZIST. THEY GOT US LOOKEN UP WHEN NAZA FLEESE ARE MONEY HIDE UNDER GROUND FROM 7 TRUMPETS OF JUDGEMENT. SECOND SEAL 2024.
so cool of movies to see at your drive in movie theater sitting in your car with the speaker hanging on the window .
It's remarkable how some scenes look like genuine Soviet space program pictures. I appreciate decent miniatures vs over-produced animation
cgi is the worst
Well It’s a soviet created film it was re dubbed by the USA first and then UK later, theres a great little read about it in the description if you haven’t checked it already
Wow, a real stinker of a movie, fortunately I love stinker movies!!!! Bravo!!!
Thanks for the complete explaination of this RUSSIAN movie!
The ink blots at the opening titles were the best part of this movie .
First time I watched this movie. Interesting:))
Love how those South Hemis decals just float there next to the ship.
They censored out CCCP (USSR in Cyrillic) from the original Soviet movie.
Can see where First Spaceship 🚀 on Venus got inspiration. The original Solaris has some pieces here too.
"Listen, I just want to warn you don't go anywhere wearing red."
🖖
I notice how fast the stars are moving they must moving at warp speed
Wow, this is amazing it is Francis Ford Coppola's 1st movie as a producer, as Associate Producer.
Фильм снят на "Мосфильме" Коппола к нему не имеет никакого отношения.
That was marvelous! A showcase of EVERYTHING BUT beautiful ridiculously young women. Loved the spaceships.
GREAT I ENJOYED IT A LOT
What a totally right on ending
i like those good sc-fi movies, always do.
Yea same here
back in the 60zz when firstI seen this flick. We were really hard up for good sci fie I thought then and again NOW. And seeing this again I will bid you all good evening and enjoy it if you can,. And suddenly I have a craving for a turkey Sandwich. Must have been the flick. Turkey time.
DDavid~ If you want to see good Sci Fi watch "Creation of the Humanoids" (1962) if you haven't already. :)
what a gem
It's 1997 and people are into 1959 retro fashion
Could have been worse, could have been Flash Gordon silver underwear.
Russia made the best space Sci fi movies, incredibly realistic for the time!
I finally got to see this good movie cool to see monsters too I saw a partial of a roger corman remakes n the 80's but cant find that version anywhere
czcams.com/video/0w-bg-r3zjE/video.html
Granted, that only thing that the two movies have in common is three out of four words in their titles...
I love ❤️ all these movies u are sending me thank you so much 😊 I’m really enjoying them I love ❤️ all the space movies and Godzilla movies and snakes 🐍 and dinosaurs 🦕 thank you very much
Hell, Nov 7. 1997 was my last day of service with the IDF
Wow. A visually stunning film, with interesting bits of more advanced sci-fi elements presented in almost matter-of-fact ways. The prologue firmly establishes the seriousness of this effort through the use of a (relatively) fast-paced montage that includes thoughtful space-ship designs, some grounded in reality. Spacecraft engine exhausts look powerful and lack the wimpy, gravity-tugged, and smoky trails typical of this era. The space-station's centrifuge is shown without comment and theres some effort to depict weightlessness.
As an anecdote, star backgrounds are shown in motion against the foreground of an exterior shot of a spaceship. This is incorrect, but even Kubrick messed this up in his great film.
At least I know we're speilberg ripped the music score for close encounters now... Cool flik...
Incredibly realistic for 1959!
Yeah. Maybe that's why the Soviets deployed their rockets in Cuba two years later, in 1961
I were born in 1959, 😄😄
That has to be the most dangerous seat belt placement I have ever seen.
Interesting how the Mercury could change shape so often😉
Of course the Times Square scene parodying American "Hype" was cut out of this version.
Those monsters remind me of the crumpet down my local.
Not surprising, since you’re of Mars.... 😜
Typical Roger Corman, gotta have cheesy monsters stuck in. 🙄
They were mighty optimistic about the size and amenities of rocket ships.. Was it just me, or did anyone else think one of those creatures resembled a va-j-j with teath? And could someone please tell me what killed the guy who brought the fuel after he saw the creatures? Did he die of fright? Was fun to see a Russian version of a space film.
Yep, the critters were intended to resemble guy&lady parts. And the guy in the original Russian film piloted the second fuel shuttle without protection, he died from radiation exposure.
The background on this movie you provided is much appreciated. Thanks.
That sucked, I loved it!
Ditto! :)
The colored lighting effects remind me of Basil Gogos artwork. Might make for an interesting diorama.
Interesting how the vehicle launch showed a Soviet red star in the tail.
Why does the report form at 10:55 say 'North Hemis Space Agency' when the project and the person completeing the report are with the 'South Hemis Space Agency'?
It is clearly a Russian movie, altered from it's original to remove the USA vs Russian space race. It accurately shows the Russians being further head.
Is the CCCP (USSR) version available for viewing, with accurate dubbing?
wat u dont want coppola peener vageener fight?
@@meesalikeu You noticed that too? Lol 😂
That was truly bad . A classic B movie , and a nice job with the upload. Thank you
Turned down COLOUR 2 b/w and altered contrast at 21.05sec better picture for me.. liking the film.
1997 never got the memo that 1950's fashions would be back in vogue.
Oh, and that pubic hair on the screen at around 59:12 was tickling the actor's face.
Isn't the sound on 50:50 similar to the bridge sounds on the Enterprise in Star Trek:TOS?
Yes i check it out it does sound like it. Good ear my friend
I died in the Great Atomic War of 1997.
Sum Yungai RIP
looks like Switzerland finally picked a side.
Only to find that nobody wanted them.
this film also include in the production staff one Francise Ford Coppola, I wonder what ever happened to him.?( joke) a surprising cold war theme that was very forward looking as the cold war lasted 30 yrs.
It also has Special Music by Carmen Coppola. Wife?
Raphael Andrews Coppola supposedly created the monsters that are fighting later in the film, along with a few UCLA students.
@@gwenmartinsen3979 Carmine Coppola, father to Francis Ford Coppola. Contributed music to The Godfather + Part II + Part III
Not sure why credited as Carmen, but it's definitely FFC's father...
"Dr. Ruth?"
They sure are touchy feely,..
Good old school film 🎥 thanks
the movie is brilliant its all voice over
I thought "spaghetti western" when I saw the dubbed dialogue until I read the comments about Russia,a novel experience
This is a Vodka Sci Fi!
cute movie. Really did a lot with very small budget.
Why is the rocket logo or identifier or whatever blacked out and censored at around 30:05 Update: I read in Wikipedia that the reason is the original Soviet film had CCCP (USSR in Cyrillic) on the rocket, so they blocked it out.
Great. Its just like Space X. at the end! I like the Star Trek transporter beam-up noise at around 50mins. I thought Russia was skint in the 50s - they look positively Californian coming off that cruise ship.
You forget, this is 1997, as viewed from 1959.
What ! No space suits ? I have never seen this movie before. But i do like old movies !
At 55:00ish just shows don’t go outside playin’ without your Light Sabre
I came for the brilliant technicolor but stayed for the riveting dialog. 👍
I clicked on your comment for inspiration, but stayed for the same cloned statement 😀
I came for the thumbnail but left because of the movie
I downloaded this Thank you I
Well, I was kinda into it until the giant red one eyed vagina attacked them, then, well, I was inspired to write this. As far as that Space X ending, now we know where Space X got the idea.
I've seen this, never knew it was a Soviet film.
Seriously? Everybody in this film looked Russian. Right down their "Potemkin" shoes.
The hopelessly clumsy and obsolete technology should be a hint.
When they were lying flat and each reached their hands out I thought they were going to hold hands!
The opening monologue was very prophetic.
please RECLINE and enjoy this adventure!
Theme song:
There's a battle beyond the sun.
It's gonna' get hot so everyone....
Put on yer sunglasses and lets have fun.
Our food will be cooked well done!
cha-cha-cha.
I like to see what they didn't get to put in these movies. The space ship and the landing ship would go apart because neither weighs anything.
Associate Producer; Francis Ford Coppola, well you got to start somewhere I guess!
