Storyline

Atomic scientist/pilot Doug Martin is missing after his plane crashes on an reconnaissance mission after a nuclear test. Miraculously appearing unhurt at the base later, he is given sodium amethol, but authorities are skeptical of his story that he was captured by aliens determined to conquer the Earth with giant monsters and insects. Martin vows to use existing technology to destroy them. Written by Gabe Taverney (duke1029@aol.com)

Trivia

Contrary to the usual practice in the 1950s, the credits appear at the end rather than at the beginning of the movie. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: When the alien scientist is showing Dr. Martin their energy storage system, he says they've stored "several trillion electron volts (eV)" of energy. While an eV is a unit of energy, it is a very small one. One trillion eV would be enough energy to power a 100 Watt lightbulb for slightly over one million-millionth of a second (1.6 pSec to be more precise). Dr. Martin (as a nuclear scientist) would have known this was a small amount of energy, so it can't be put off as the alien misusing unfamiliar terms. See more »

Quotes

Deneb Tala: You are a clever man, Doctor. Perhaps too clever.
