Synopsis

A Trip to Mars (Danish: Himmelskibet, or Heaven Ship) is a 1918 Danish film about a trip to Mars. In 2006, the film was restored and released on DVD by the Danish Film Institute.

Scientists build an airship called the Excelsior, and travel to Mars. They find a utopian civilization on the planet, dedicated to pacifism. The captain falls in love with Marya, the daughter of Mars' philosopher-king, and she must get her father's blessing before they return to Earth and get married.
