This 80s Japanese science fiction film was directed by Koji Hashimoto, the man behind the cult classic, The Return of Godzilla. In a small tribute to the monster genre of films that Hashimoto loved so much, there is a scene in the film that features one of the primary characters watching footage from Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. The plot is set in 2125, where the population of Earth has become so enormous that the biosphere has long since collapsed. Humans take up residence in space far beyond Earth's orbit and search for a new home. When markings are discovered on Jupiter the best minds start a project to travel there, however, they are met at every turn by opposition from the radical environmentalists of Jupiter Church who want only to see the mission fail.
