Story Synopsis

Robinson Crusoe On Mars is a science fiction classic based on the popular 1950’s novel from Daniel Defoe. The plot is rustic, involving a stranded astronaut who faces the perils of survival alone in a futuristic land of danger until he meets “Friday,” an alien slave. They form a bonding friendship and challenge the harsh Martian landscape to-gether. While the production design and sets tend toward artificially, the visuals impart a unique sense of wonder, especially the outdoor sequences which used Death Valley locations juxtaposed with an artificial “Martian” sky. Robinson Crusoe On Mars is a cult classic, nostogically noteworthy.
