The picture that leaps ahead of the headlines!
First Man Into Space (1959) follows a test pilot whose experimental rocket flight goes disastrously wrong, leaving him horribly transformed by exposure to the upper atmosphere. As he returns to Earth, his monstrous form begins to terrorize those around him, prompting a desperate hunt to stop the creature before more lives are lost. This science-fiction horror blends Cold War-era fascination with space exploration, mutation, and suspense in a tense tale of human ambition gone awry.
