The Impossible Voyage by Georges Melies (1904)
(aka: La Voyage Travers L'impossible, The Voyage Beyond the Possible)
A Geographic society proposes to travel around the world. The vehicles for this voyage include a submarine, an "impossible carriage", and a large box car filled with ice. The machines are loaded onto a locomotive and are sent to the Swiss Alps. They first board the "Impossible Carriage" and journey through the mountains, only to crash and spend weeks in a hospital.
After their recovery they board a train with their vehicles and journey up a mountain peak. Getting higher and higher every minute, the balloons attached to the train rise them into space and are "swallowed" by the sun. The travelers land with a crash, and are happy to be alive, but the heat is too much. All but one of the travelers are loaded into an ice box, only to realize that the travelers have freezed. The traveler starts a fire to melt the ice, and moves them over to a submarine.
The submarine is launched off the sun and falls into an ocean. A boiler problem causes the submarine to explode, and the travelers are thrown up into the air and land in a nearby harbour. After the travelers have been discovered, a grand rejoicing is held.
The Impossible Voyage was originally a play developed by Jules Verne that contained variations on scenes from From the Earth to the Moon. No doubt that Melies received the inspiration for this film from the popularity of A Trip to the Moon, as many of the scenes look nearly the same as they do in the older movie (the image of the submarine landing into the ocean looks identical to the ocean in A Trip to the Moon)
