What Movie Was This?

[junkheap]

I caught this movie once one Saturday afternoon, back somewhere between the late 70's and mid 80's.

In the movie a family got transported to a deserted alien city and they had to solve a series of puzzles to get out. In the end they find out it was some sort of test to see if humans were ready to be contacted or not.

It was kind of a crappy movie, but it had an interesting premise.

I'm not sure, but I think it might have been a foreign film dubbed over in English.

I only ever saw it once and I never saw it again. Did this movie actually exist, or was this something I just hallucinated?

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but I put in "planet" for a key word at IMDB and got this list of 182 movies....

Off to the right hand side are more key words that you can search....maybe "alien contact" would be good.

Ya' got me with this one, darlin', and I'm right in the middle of re-reading a book called Hollywood Versus the Aliens, which talks about a lot of obscure sci-fi flicks I've never heard of.
