Roger Corman picked up a Russian science fiction film called The Sky is Calling, hired Francis Ford Coppola to rework it for American audiences and the finished product was called Battle Beyond The Sun for some reason.
The original film was about a race to Mars in the year 1997 between the Russians and the Americans. Coppola got rid of this cold war type stuff and created two countries called North Hemis and South Hemis.
The spaceships from North Hemis and South Hemis end up on an asteroid
instead of Mars where surprise, surprise they confront some goofy space
monsters.
The special effects are fairly decent for an early low budget 60's film. The film is short and nothing special,
75 minutes. written by Mikhail Karyhukov, Yevgeni Pomeshchikov, Aleksei Sazonov this was after all originally a Russian film.
