The first film to explore the solar system beyond the moon is Aelita.
This film takes place in an interplanetary future where the lovely
(and oppressive) Queen Aelita rules the planet Mars. A Moscow engineer
has recurring dreams of her, and builds a rocketlike space ship that
he can use to find her. A group of men travel to Mars, where they
encounter a full-blown society of Martians led by the Queen. It's
known for the set and costume design which influenced Metropolis three
years later, and also the Flash Gordon series of the 30's.
