Plot

Flying the Space Shuttle Camelot on a satellite repair mission, its crew discovers an alien spaceship. The mission commander, Col. Jason Grant (Walter Koenig), leaves the shuttle to investigate, and discovers a reddish-brown pod containing a mummified human corpse. Both the pod and its contents are brought back to Earth and, following investigation, it is found that they originated on the Moon some 14,000 years ago.

Utilizing the last complete Apollo spacecraft, Grant and fellow astronaut Tanner (Bruce Campbell) return to the Moon. They discover the ruins of an ancient human civilization and sentient machines called "Kalium", which have a programmed imperative to conquer Earth.
