Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1966 science fiction film directed by Arthur C. Pierce, starring Wendell Corey and John Agar.A convoy of human spaceships are returning to their homeworld after a long mission; the mostly Caucasian crew is supplemented with "Centaurans", Human Aliens played by Asian actors and with a fittingly tense backstory of racial-slash-imperialistic tension. The tension comes to a head when one ship in the convoy is hijacked by some of the Centaurans aboard and crash-lands on the third planet of a distant solar system, killing most of the crew. Nevertheless, the admiral commanding the convoy disobeys orders and turns back to rescue any survivors of the lost ship.Because of Time Dilation, the rescue ship arrives some 20 years after the original ship crashed (local time). The crew begins searching the site for any clues to what might have happened, with many falling prey to the dangers of the jungle planet in the process. Meanwhile, one of the Centaurian crew, a girl named Linda, meets Tang, a young man of Centaurian descent and falls in love with him, while discovering another part of the story of the lost ship.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In the end, the admiral has to decide how far he'll go to protect his own, and Linda has to decide where she'll call home.For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode see here.

Adam and Eve Plot: Implied to be the fate of Linda and Tang, both being mixed race humans and Centaurians.

Covers Always Lie: The poster is...not an accurate representation of the film. Short of some verbal antagonism between a Centaurian and an injured human woman among the wreck survivors of Cosmos III, there's no actual Girl Fight in the movie and the plot primarily explores themes of colonialism and racism rather than the battle of the sexes.

Earth All Along: The infamous Twist Ending. However it's also foreshadowed: The cast mentions they are in the "Solaris" system several times, with Sol being the Latin name for our sun. Furthermore, the crash occurs on the system's third planet. Additionally, the fact that one of the two races is Centaurians, with Proxima Centauri being the closest star from Earth, just near enough that it could be reached within a human lifetime assuming the craft could reach a sufficiently high fraction of the speed of light.
