Movies/TV Episodes inspired by Martian Chronicles
Hi Everyone,

I'm new here...I remember a while back that I saw a tv show episode or a movie that was inspired by the Martian Chronicles, more specifically the story Mars Is Heaven (also titled the Third Expedition). Does anyone have a list of movies/shows that this inspired...or where to find one? It is because of this that I started to read Ray Bradbury and now I forgot what it was...very random question but I hope to solve it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi bradbury47, and welcome.

You may be thinking of DISTANT EARLY WARNING, a 1975 TV movie that seems to rip off "Mars is Heaven!".

There's a full list of Bradbury-based films on my website Bradburymedia.

Hi Phil,

Thank you very much for the reply. Unfortunately I don't think that was it...it was much sooner, as in the last several years. Would you happen to know of any recent movies, or even episodes of TV shows that was based on Third Expedition?

Thanks!
