A Trip to the Moon (1902) Synopsis

A group of astronomers studies the way to travel to the moon. When they conclude their project, the president selects five other astronomers to travel with him. They embark in a shell and are shot from a giant cannon to the moon. When they land, they seek shelter in a cave to protect from the snow. They meet the Selenites, the alien inhabitants of the moon, and they are destroyed by the astronomers who find that a strong hit makes them explode. However, they arrive in large numbers and the astronomers are captured by the Selenites. But one astronomer hits their king who explodes and they run to the capsule pursued by the aliens. They drop the capsule which falls through the space and reaches the ocean. Then they are rescued by a steamer which brings the team safe and sound ashore.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
