The earth is receiving signals from Alpha Cassiopeia that suggests that
there is intelligent life on that planet - and thus all the scientists in
the Soviet Union are starting to make up plans on how to get there - but
only teen genius Victor Sereda (Misha Yershov) comes up with an actual
solution for that problem. The one difficulty about his ideas though: He
needs a crew consisting of members no older than 15 to make the trip to Alpha Cassiopeia
and back without dying on the way from natural causes
since the whole expedition is to take at least 50 years. So Victor gathers
a group of five friends and fellow teen geniuses (Aleksandr
Grigoryev, Vladimir Savin, Olga Bityukova, Nadezhda Ovcharova, Irina
Popova) to join him on his little journey, and off they go ... But of
course, the ship is carrying a stowaway, clumsy but well-meaning Fedyo
(Vladimir Basov Ml.), who before you know it gets himself and the whole
expedition into one danger after the next, and while the others are still
discussing whether to send him back to earth in a shuttle pod, he
accidently hits a few buttons that throw the ship into cyberspace - and
make it reach Alpha Cassiopeia much sooner ... You might be
turned off by the concept of sending teens into space right away, or by
many of the other leaps of reason this film contains for the sake of
telling a science fiction yarn, but if you get beyond all them, you are
left with ... a rather average youth-oriented science fiction film that in
its whole set-up is much too pseudo-scientific (without being really
educational) to create much interest or narrative tension, and once the
actual story (the spacetrip) kicks in, it's not really that great. A few
nice special effects though ...
