Man in Outer Space AKA The Man from the First Century (Czech: '''Muž z prvního století''') is a 1962 Czechoslovak science fiction comedy film directed by Oldřich Lipský. It was entered into the 1962 Cannes Film Festival.[1]
Set in the second half of the 20th century, plans are in place to launch the first Czech spacecraft. Upholsterer Josef (played by Miloš Kopecký) makes the final adjustments to the vehicle and accidentally starts the ship. He flies to the planet Blue Star. There, he meets planet inhabitant Adam (Radovan Lukavský), and they both return to Earth. Somehow, 600 years have passed. Josef ends up in a psychiatric hospital, but escapes, and with the help of the Adam, who is apparently invisible on Earth, he returns to his own timeline.
