Inspired by a wide variety of sources, including Jules Verne's 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon and A Trip to the Moon's 1870 sequel Around the Moon, the film follows a group of astronomers who travel to the Moon in a cannon-propelled capsule, explore the Moon's surface, escape from an underground group of Selenites (lunar inhabitants), and return to Earth with a captive Selenite.
