The Wizard of Mars is a 1965 American science fiction film directed and co-written by David L. Hewitt. It is loosely based on L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The title character is portrayed by John Carradine, who gives a lengthy monologue as a projection near the end of the film. The film contrasts with Baum's novel by depicting the constraints of human aspirations.
