In the future the struggle for space superiority has forced humanity to search the cosmos for a rare element called Antallum that is the key ingredient for the construction of neutron bombs. Starship captain Larry Madison and his crew are assigned to retrieve Antallum from the remote planet Lorigon. However, Madison and crew find themselves under the control of a powerful computer on Lorigon that incites everyone to have sex. Some versions feature brief adult scenes shot with body doubles.

VIBE

Beast in Space delivers a truly wild ride, a pulpy blend of retro sci-fi and exploitation horror. It's a sleazy, unsettling trip into technological control and primal urges, wrapped in a bizarre, campy aesthetic. Perfect for a late-night dive into forgotten genre cinema.
