ROGER CORMANS CULT CLASSICS. Seven mercenaries are recruited from throughout the galaxy to save a peaceful planet from the threat of an evil tyrant bent on dominating the entire universe. Among them are a lizard-like humanoid, a space cowboy, a female warrior and a brooding killer-for-hire.

With it's plot based on the notion that overnight success often spells ruin for the one who achieves it, BEYOND TOMORROW uses the intervention of three ghostly spirits, who return from the grave to straighten out the problems of two young lovers (Richard Carlson and Jean Parker), as it's set piece. Three lonely millionaires (Winninger, Smith and Carey) are the central characters in this unusual fantasy-drama. The trio opens their home and hearts to two young people, a boy and girl, who fall in love. When the three good Samaritans are killed in a plane crash, their ghosts return to try and help their friends. The result is touching, sensitive, yet entertaining motion picture with three great character actors as the earth-bound spirits. Wonderful family viewing for Christmas or at any time of the year.
