content
Many cities in Europe are being destroyed by earthquakes. A mysterious planet is discovered in space that not only continues to cause disasters, but also threatens to collide with Earth. Commander Jackson and his crew take a spaceship into space to identify and explore the planet. Inside, the team discovers a kind of giant brain whose ganglia grow back when they are cut off. The astronauts decide to destroy the planet with an antimatter bomb. Jackson sacrifices himself and lets his crew return to the spaceship before carrying out the demolition.
