The content of "Space Ship 18" was announced in the completed movie poster as follows:
- Ufa films, which were based on the bold portrayal of a technical, future-oriented problem, have always been highlights of the annual program, sensational events that led to success - one remembers “ FP1 does not answer ” and “ Gold ”. - With "Weltraumschiff 18", Ufa is taking up this tradition again and is creating a film that will not only be a worthy successor to the previous one, but rather this one in the rapid course of its events, in the boldness and probability of solving its technical problem, in the timeliness of the place of action and in the emphasis on the human context. - The highly sensational plot requires the presence of large and fantastically fast airplanes - so-called “ space ships ” - which can undertake pole flights in a few hours and be stationed in Antarctica for research purposes. Occasionally on such a flight, the demise of a gigantic, earth-shaking meteor is observed, and when examining the meteor rocks, one discovers new, unknown elements that ignite enormous energies. For these elements, for these mysterious forces that could unhinge the world, a battle of science and a battle of peoples breaks out ...
- The subject matter, direction and cast characterize a great film in every respect!
