1962 film by Pavel Klushantsev

Planeta Bur (Russian: Планета бурь, lit. 'Planet of Storms') is a 1962 Sovcolor Soviet science fiction adventure film about landing on Venus. It was scripted by Alexander Kazantsev from his novel with the same name, and co-scripted and directed by Pavel Klushantsev.

In English, the film is often informally referred to as Planet of (the) Storms, Planet of Tempests, or Storm Planet. It was never theatrically released in the U.S. in its original form before appearing on home video in the 1990s. The film is better known to American audiences via the two similar American direct-to-television features Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet and Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women. Both U.S. video features reused the film's special effects and most of its primary footage but filmed additional scenes involving attractive alien women.
