Woman in the Moon

Aroview: Silent-era sci-fi from director Fritz Lang. Based on the 1928 novel "The Rocket to the Moon" by his collaborator (and wife at the time) Thea von Harbou, who also wrote the film that unfairly overshadowed this one, METROPOLIS.

Presenting the basics of rocket travel to a mass audience for the first time, the story concerns a scientist who blasts off to the moon in search of mineral wealth, but crew rivalries threaten the expedition.
