Rocket Ship

1938 · 82 min Action Adventure Science Fiction
5.4 / 10 · TMDB

A heavy condensation of the 1936 serial Flash Gordon, with altered musical score. Flash Gordon, Dale Arden and Dr. Hans Zarkov visit the planet Mongo to thwart the evil schemes of Emperor Ming the Merciless, who has set his planet on a collision course with Earth. Released abroad as "Flash Gordon" for countries not interested in booking the serial, and never shown in the USA before 1950, where the title was changed to "Rocket Ship".

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Rocket Ship is an acquired taste at 5.4/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1938. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
