In the 1980s NBC screened a miniseries based on Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles", about the settlement of Mars by Earthlings who have left their home planet because of nuclear war. Having made a technological leap after the Second World War, humanity ends by destroying life on both Earth and Mars. The action unfolds between the 2000s and the 2060s. Bradbury himself did not think much of the adaptation, and the three-part production enjoyed no particular success with viewers. Yet even today the picture looks very cool
