Synopsis
A mysterious alien labyrinth discovered on the Moon kills anyone who enters it, and the U.S. military uses matter transmitter technology to send duplicates of volunteers into the structure to map its deadly passages. Al Barker, a death-obsessed daredevil, is recruited because he alone can psychologically endure experiencing his own repeated deaths.
