Lost Planet Airmen Movie Review

The planet is Earth, so it's not lost; and there's only one airman, a scientist in a jet backpack and metal mask who fights the evil genius killing eminent scientists. Mistitled, feature-length distillation of the 12-part Republic serial King of the Rocket Men (also available complete on tape). Useful as a quick intro to the iconographic Rocket Man character, who has come to epitomize vintage sci-fi serials.
