On the wikipedia page for F-1 engines, it has this photo, with the caption of:
F-1 on display at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. Its appearance was temporarily altered for a science fiction movie.
Anyone know what movie this was used for? 'Interstellar,' perhaps?

Not for Interstellar, by a long shot. This photo is from 1978!
The movie is a post-apocalyptic film called Ravagers. The rocket park of the Space & Rocket Center was temporarily redecorated to appear as an abandoned missile base for the film.
Here is the scene of the "missile base" on Youtube. Pretty freaky seeing a post-nuclear version of our rocket park! http://youtu.be/xdQlLqJBxV8?t=11m8s

Quite interesting, I am glad that rocket park does not look like that!!
