Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1961 American independent Science Fiction film directed by William Marshall, starring Dean Fredericks, Dolores Faith, Coleen Gray, Anthony Dexter, and Francis X. Bushman.Astronaut Frank Chapman has been sent out into space with Navigator Ray Makonnen on a search for another pair of astronauts who died. After some odd philosophy from Makonnen, the two are separated when a meteor storm hits the ship and Makonnen is propelled into space, while Frank is left barely conscious. Luckily, Frank's rocketship lands on a wandering planet, the "Phantom Planet" of the title, where Frank encounters a race of tiny people who are six inches tall. After the planet's atmosphere causes him to shrink to their size, Frank is forcibly integrated into the society of the planet Rheton.Over the course of the film, Frank deals with a love triangle between an aggressive woman named named Liara (not that one), her own suitor Herron, and Cute Mute Zetha, whom Frank really falls for. He also learns the history of the strange world, duels with Herron, and helps fight off an invasion of the Solarites. The invasion leads to Zetha finally gaining the ability to speak, and Frank learns of a way to leave Rheton and return to his original size. Zetha gives him a rock to remember her by and the film ends with Frank being rescued by astronauts from earth while contemplating the rock and trying to figure out whether the whole experience was a dream.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The movie was later featured in an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (episode 902). | |

All There in the Manual: In the comic book that came out when Phantom Planet was released, it's explained that Ray Makonnen was formerly a priest, explaining his speech, which is a paraphrasing of a quote from clergyman Richard Cecil, and his reciting The Lord's Prayer as he drifts off into space. | |

Artistic License – Biology: Apparently, Rheton's atmosphere will cause you to shrink. But thankfully all you need to get back to normal is air from your homeworld. The only effect this has on the plot is to explain why the planet Rheton is so difficult to locate. There are a hundred ways they would have explained that without shrinking people to 6" tall. | |

Artistic License – Chemistry: Apparently, the size of people, whether on Rheton or on Earth, is determined by the air they breathe.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

All Just a Dream: It's left up in the air whether the whole Rheton thing was a vivid dream. Frank seems to think the rock Zetha gave him confirms it was real, but...it's just a rock. | |
