<br/><br/> Impey Barbicane, president of the elite Baltimore Gun Club in the years following the Civil War, suggests the members build a gun big enough to launch a rocket to the moon, but things get out of control when an adversary wagers against the project, and a volunteer lobbies to make the mission a manned flight.
