Experimental pilot testing a new rocket powered craft (actually a Convair F-102 interceptor) manages to fly into the future and land at the now deserted airbase he left. He ends up in a city with people who are suspicious he is a spy and who want to keep him to procreate with the rulers daughter because the majority of the inhabitants are sterile. He manages to escape and return to his own time but ages dramatically. (official distributor synopsis)

The best thing about this film is its poster slyly touting a sci-fi wonder like no other. But the truth is very far from that. In 1960 Ulmer worked as in an assembly line, he would make a film in a couple of days, simultaneously with another one, and the results are evident. The exteriors are represented by a few minutes of shots of an airport and some drab demolition site, the rest is one rear projection and cheap sets with pseudo-sci-fi architecture, where the most expensive thing had to be the swimming pool. The chatty plot is very dull and uninteresting, and only a few seconds of mutant attack ten minutes before the end will snap you out of a light slumber. The result, unfortunately, is definitely not so stupid to at least entertain you at the expense of the creators, it's just incredibly boring.
