In 1920s Moscow, engineer Los is among a group of technicians who receive a strange radio message that seems to be from another world. Los begins to dream about a woman on the distant planet Mars, little realizing that Aelita, the daughter of its totalitarian ruler, is actually observing him through a telescope. Fate deals him a tragic blow – but also presents him with an opportunity... He builds a spaceship and travels to the red planet to be united with her, and with his comrade Gulev leads a proletarian uprising. But is everything quite what it seems?
