"A Trip to the Moon" (French: Le Voyage dans la lune), alternately "Voyage to the Moon", is a 1902 French black-and-white silent science fiction (SF) film. The film was written and directed by Georges Méliès, assisted by his brother Gaston. It is based loosely on two popular novels of the time: Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon and H. G. Wells' The First Men in the Moon. It was extremely popular at the time of its release, and is the best-known of the hundreds of fantasy films made by Méliès. A Trip to the Moon is the first known science fiction film, and uses innovative animation and special effects, including the well-known image of the spaceship landing in the Moon's eye. It was named one of the 100 greatest films of the 20th century by The Village Voice, ranking at #84
The story is about some astronomers who planned a trip to the moon. By creating a capsule in the shape of a bullet and a huge cannon to shoot it into space, they were able to land on the moon and many unusual things happened there. If I was there on the first screening of the film, I would be really amazed of how they were able to come up with such movie and using very impressive hi-tech effects.
