In a future time when men inhabit a distant hostile planet outpost, the crew in their underground bunker gets a distress call from a space freighter. They are about to crash land on the planet. The rescue, and what horrors awaits them on the planet’s surface, shows that with all human
advancements…(as the announcer says)…man hasn’t changed. Included at the end of the show the main character Robert McQueeney tells of the big stories that will be made in the future on Outpost in Space. Sadly this series did not continue. Well done sci-fi. Also stars Theodore Marcuse, Robert Gist, Robert Fuller, Ron Hagerthy, James Callahan, Robert Sherman, Lisa Britton, and Frank Ray. Transferred from 16mm b-w film.

The gauges are stolen from the Krell on Altair.
Wasn't this the final episode of the anthology series Flight?
Definitely better than your average 1950s Sci Fi TV stuff. Both the acting and the script are well up to par. More of these please.
I'm 80 and never heard of this. I grew up in Los Angeles. Could this have been distributed only in other markets?
Im. 70 never heard of this more episodes??
This was really well done!
Power indicating dials from Forbidden Planet.
Looks like some of the props appeared in the movie "Forbidden Planet."
Good writing and good acting. I like Theo Marcuse as the Doc, nice change from his often roles as the Villain. Thanks for uploading this. Would love to see more.
me love this stuff 😅
Not sure I get that ending…
Good grief the assistant director was Erich Von Stroheim!
Lol
A period sponsor advertising the health benefits of smoking would be a nice touch…
Those props are from the "Krell Labs" in Forbidden Planet! How cool is that?
I've been around the sun 78 times and have never seen this until now.
James Callahan was memorable in The Time Tunnel. The power readouts behind him have been borrowed from the Krell lab in Forbidden Planet.
Que buena serie era!,, yo me crié en los 70 con esa serie y otras mas!⚘️🌲😊
A fun show, I always enjoy seeing the old sci-fi's and am always fascinated by some of the designs and background sets from the days when other planets were still a mystery and all was pure guess-work. It's still more captivating, to me, to see these old shows vs. the modern CGI nonsense. Thanks a lot for sharing this episode!
Incredible you can tel it’s just post war since it feels like a 1940s ww2 film. Acting is horrendous and ending it with all that creepy laughing. WTH.
Was this the only science-fiction episode?
Apart from the cardboard sets, which were ridiculous even back then: well-written, exciting science fiction, strong characters, good actors. Reminds me of the original Star Trek series. It's a shame that more wasn't made of it.
Holy WOW! Directed by Boris Sagal!
Wow this was great. To bad it didn't get a full series run.
I read This apparently was a pilot for a TV series. Didn't sell but it did go on the air as the last episode of Flight, an anthology series focused on the air force. This was likely the only science fiction episode. It is an MGM production and a lot of the YouTube comments believe much of what is here, sets, etc. was borrowed from Forbidden Planet.
This is the lost MGM-TV pilot film I have been wanting to see since I first heard about it in 1960. It was made in early 1959 at MGM Studios using sets and props from FORBIDDEN PLANET. It was made in black & white for television, and shown to CBS but they passed on it, in favor of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone in mid-1959. I have never seen this, and this is a pristine print!
I don't know if this film was ever shown on television, but it should have had at least one broadcast in 1959. It is a lot like the sci-fi TV series MEN INTO SPACE (UA-ZIV-TV, 1959-1960). Sci-fi wasn't as popular then on TV but in the 1960s that really changed.
A Raylock Production – Producers: Jack Rabin, Irving Block and Louis DeWitt, who produced KRONOS (1957), and were special visual effects supervisors and story writers. Irving Block was associated with FORBIDDEN PLANET, having written and pitched the original story to MGM as "Fatal Planet" in 1954. Filmed at MGM as an independent production. Sadly the story and the production values were not up to par, and the superb writing and personality of Rod Serling made his project an easy sell to CBS.
they are all wearing war surplus hats lol.
Never heard of this one. Strange seeing Robert Fuller without his sixgun.
Ensign! Whats that crazy noise….!!!??? I call it WRAPP music sir- Future kids are gonna LOVE IT…!!!
What does the Original Star Trek and this Tv series have in common….???? Their Pants have NO Pockets……..
I was 1. Probably would have loved it later on in re-runs on UHF, had it shown. Now, painful.
I'm aprox 3.14159 years old and I've never seen this nor have I ever heard the name of this show. Many thanks to the algorithm and this channel for introducing me. I really do LOVE shows like this! Especially scifi B&W shows!
