Marty's Moonride poster

"Honest, you guys! A spaceship! I saw a spaceship! It came right down over the camp, like it was watchin' us!" Marty's enthusiasm would have burst into outright shouting. But he knew the other fellows at the camp weren't likely to believe his story. Marty was sure he had seen the spaceship, though. Absolutely sure. In fact, before camp was over, he would take a ride on one - all the way to the moon. Or would he? What really happened to Marty deep down inside provides young viewers with a message impact unique to the time in which they live. The film story takes place in a wooded camp area where a Sunday school teacher take his class of boys on an extended holiday. Assisting him is a visitor from Great Britain, who teaches the boys how to play cricket. But the story's most important adventure consists of the change in Marty - and to the other boys in the Sunday school who decided to act like Christians so they could help Marty become one.
