Based on a novel by Aleksandr Kazantsev, the film's story line has three Soviet "starships" heading for Venus, where they're expected to collect data that promises to shed light on the existence of life. Before they can land, one ship is destroyed by a meteor, leaving the other two three-man crews to debate whether to continue on or wait, as ordered, for reinforcements coming along in four months.
They decide to send down two cosmonauts and a talking robot, which predictably results in a crash landing and subsequent rescue mission by three of the remaining cosmonauts. On Venus, the men encounter "savage" alien life forms, ranging from garden-variety dinosaurs. They also find vegetation, plenty of water, and a landscape that ultimately isn't as inhospitable as it seems.
