This unusual sci-fi film is entertaining. A new planet is found by a British agency headed by Jason Webb (Patrick Wymark) in the 21st Century. The reason that it had not been found earlier is that it is in an orbit identical to Earth's, but directly opposite Earth on the other side of the Sun. British astrophysicist John Kane (Ian Hendry) and American astronaut Colonel Glenn Ross (Roy Thinnes) set off on an expedition to investigate the phenomenon with interesting results.
