''Satellite in the Sky'' is a 1956 British science fiction film. It was directed by Paul Dickson with special effects by Wally Veevers who would later work on ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' (1968).〔 The film stars Kieron Moore, Lois Maxwell, Donald Wolfit and Bryan Forbes. ==Plot== After initial experiments using high speed aircraft, scientists in Great Britain create the "Stardust", the first manned spaceship to orbit the Earth. Some of the crew members have concerned loved ones. Barbara (Thea Gregory), the wife of Larry Noble (Jimmy Hanley), and Ellen (Shirley Lawrence), the girlfriend of radio operator Jimmy Wheeler (Bryan Forbes), are afraid that the space flight will be dangerous. Although the crew, headed by Commander Michael Haydon (Kieron Moore), initially believe they are on a scientific mission, the scientist on board, Professor Merrity (Donald Wolfit), is really working for the United States to test an experimental nuclear "Tritbonium Bomb". The object is to use the explosion to persuade nations to abandon nuclear weapons. Complications arise when Haydon discovers a stowaway. Troublesome reporter Kim Hamilton (Lois Maxwell) also opposes the mission as a reckless and unnecessary use of space flight, and has hidden aboard to disrupt the mission. The Tritbonium Bomb is to be released into space, but when the experimental spaceship's propulsion unit fails and the bomb has attached itself to the hull, everyone's life is threatened. The crew and their unwanted guest race against time to defuse or destroy the bomb. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Satellite in the Sky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
