The basic concept is also reminiscent of Ray Bradbury's 1948 short story "Mars Is Heaven!".
The Danish-American science fiction film Journey to the Seventh Planet (1962) involves astronauts exploring a planet where their memories and desires materialize before them. This turns out to be an elaborate illusion created by a powerful alien entity living in a cavern.
In the original Star Trek episode "Shore Leave", a crew finds a planet where any of their desires once thought are acted out in real life. This is due to an alien life-form's superior technology, as the planet is actually an alien amusement park. The crew eventually comes to relax on the planet before continuing on their journey. This episode aired in 1966, fifteen years after Ray Bradbury's story was first published.
