Storyline

Scientists investigate what appears to be a meteorite that crashes into the ocean. After a few days and nights of mysterious lights and noises, a giant machine comes out of the ocean. The machine is the creation of an alien race, that is trying to syphon energy from earth. A true classic, in that it is so different from anything in the time period. To this day, nothing else has come out like it. Written by Anonymous

Trivia

The long shots of Kronos moving were accomplished by animation, presumably the work of animator Gene Warren. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: The TV station reporting the arrival of the "asteroid" is said to be located in New York City, however the station call sign (identification) which appears on the New York studio TV cameras is "KGTK". This is inconsistent with reality, as (at the time this film was made), TV and radio stations on the east coast of the United States were assigned call signs beginning with the letter "W". TV and radio stations on the west coast were assigned call signs beginning with the letter "K". See more »
