Flight to Mars was a 72-minute 1951 Cinecolor science fiction film, written for the screen by Arthur Strawn. It was produced by Walter Mirisch for Monogram Pictures Corp. (which also distributed) and was directed by Lesley Selander. Cameron Mitchell, Arthur Franz, Virginia Huston and John Litel starred as American spacemen; and Marguerite Churchill appeared as the leader of the human-like Martian women - named Alita! - and Morris Ankrum as her father, the leader of the Martian council.

The story involves the arrival on Mars of an American scientific expedition team, who discover an underground-dwelling, dying civilizaton of Martians. They are anatomically human, and are suspicious of the earthmen's motives, with the majority of the governing body finally deciding to keep the earthmen prisoner.

Flight to Mars as a Burning Man Theme Camp: Flight to Mars is a Seattle based arts organization, and a theme camp that participates at Burning Man every year since 2001. It sprung from the minds of several long time Seattlites that remembered an amusement park ride of the same name. The ride made its home in the Seattle Center Fun Forest for many years. It was removed to make way for the Experience Music Project. Every year it is reborn on the Playa to take its occupants on a fun filled space adventure yet again.
