Robinson Crusoe on Mars is a 1964 independently produced Techniscope science fiction film retelling of the classic novel Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. It was distributed by Paramount Pictures, directed by Byron Haskin, produced by Aubrey Schenck, and starred Paul Mantee, Victor Lundin, and Adam West. The film was shot on location, much of it at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley, California.
Commander Christopher 'Kit' Draper (Paul Mantee) and Colonel Dan McReady (Adam West) reach the Red Planet in their spaceship, Mars Gravity Probe. They are forced to use up their remaining fuel in order to avoid an imminent collision with an orbiting meteor; they descend in their one-man lifeboat pods and become the first humans on Mars.
