Degli alieni provenienti dalla costellazione Hydra precipitano vicino al paese di Morino, nel centro Italia. Un eminente scienziato, sua figlia, diversi giovani tecnici e una coppia di spie orientali vengono presi in ostaggio dagli alieni, che li usano per riparare il motore guasto della loro astronave. Fatto ci\u00f2, ripartono alla volta del loro pianeta natale, con i terrestri come ostaggio. Fantascienza disimpegnata, trovate straordinarie, emozioni e scene entrate nell\u2019immaginario collettivo di cinefili incalliti. Per alcuni audaci, una delle fonti di ispirazione de <\/span>Il pianeta delle scimmie<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0 Un vero e proprio <\/span>cult movie<\/span><\/i> del cinema popolare italiano con le iconiche interpretazioni della bellissima Leonora Ruffo e la bluebell Leontine Snell.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Aliens from the constellation Hydra crash-land near the town of Morino, in central Italy. A prominent scientist, his daughter, several young technicians, and a pair of Oriental spies are taken hostage by the beings so they can use them to repair their spaceship\u2019s broken engine. With that done, they take off towards their home planet, taking the earthlings with them as captives. Disengaged science fiction, with extraordinary emotions and scenes entered in the collective imagination of passionate cinephiles. For some bold, one of the sources of inspiration for <\/span>Planet of the Apes<\/span><\/i>. A real cult of Italian popular cinema with the iconic interpretations of the beautiful Leonora Ruffo and the bluebell girl Leontine Snell.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Pietro Francisci<\/strong>
Dopo la laurea in giurisprudenza, lavora come regista di documentari debuttando nel 1934 con <\/span>Rapsodia di Roma<\/span><\/i> e girando poi cortometraggi per l\u2019Istituto Nazionale Luce. Nel 1935 dirige il primo lungometraggio a carattere narrativo, <\/span>La mia vita sei tu<\/span><\/i>, e dopo la guerra opere di diversa ispirazione: dal patetico <\/span>Io t’ho incontrata a Napoli<\/span><\/i> (1946) a <\/span>Natale al campo 119<\/span><\/i> (1947), d\u2019impronta vagamente neorealista, al misticheggiante <\/span>Antonio di Padova <\/span><\/i>(1949). \u00c8 sul versante del cinema epico e mitologico che trova un registro personale, a partire da <\/span>Il leone di Amalfi<\/span><\/i> (1950), <\/span>Le meravigliose avventure di Guerrin Meschino<\/span><\/i> (1952), <\/span>La regina di Saba<\/span><\/i> (1952), <\/span>Attila<\/span><\/i> (1954), fino alla definitiva affermazione con <\/span>Le fatiche di Ercole <\/span><\/i>(1958), film campione d\u2019incassi in Italia e negli Stati Uniti che avvia la stagione del peplum. Ai successi di <\/span>Ercole e la Regina di Lidia<\/span><\/i> (1959) ed <\/span>Ercole sfida Sansone<\/span><\/i> (1963), si aggiungono poi <\/span>L’assedio di Siracusa<\/span><\/i> (1960), rielaborazione storica in chiave m\u00e9lo e l’ibrido mitologico-fantascientifico di <\/span>2+5: missione Hydra<\/span><\/i> (1966).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Pietro Francisci
<\/strong>After receiving his law degree, he worked as a documentary filmmaker, debuting in 1934 with <\/span>Rapsodia di Roma<\/span><\/i> and later shooting short films for the Istituto Nazionale Luce. In 1935, he directed his first narrative feature film, <\/span>La mia vita sei tu<\/span><\/i>, and after the war made different types of movies, from the poignant <\/span>Io t’ho incontrata a Napoli<\/span><\/i> (1946) to the vaguely neorealistic <\/span>Christmas at Camp 119<\/span><\/i> (1947) and the slightly mystical <\/span>Antonio di Padova <\/span><\/i>(<\/span>Anthony of Padua<\/span><\/i>, 1949). He found his personal register in epic and mythological movies, starting with <\/span>The Lion of Amalfi<\/span><\/i> (1950), <\/span>Wonderful Adventures of Guerrin Meschino<\/span><\/i> (1952), <\/span>The Queen of Sheba<\/span><\/i> (1952), and <\/span>Attila<\/span><\/i> (1954), achieving his definitive fame with <\/span>Hercules <\/span><\/i>(1958), a huge box office success in Italy and the United States that inaugurated the season of sword and sandal movies. Successes like <\/span>Hercules Unchained<\/span><\/i> (1959) and <\/span>Hercules, Samson & Ulysses<\/span><\/i> (1963), were joined by <\/span>Siege of Syracuse<\/span><\/i> (1960), a historical re-elaboration in a melodramatic key and the mythological-science fiction hybrid <\/span>Star Pilot<\/span><\/i> (1966).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
