The terrifying truth about flying saucers!

ActionScience Fiction

Test space rockets exploding at liftoff and increased reporting of UFO sightings culminate in a direct attempt by alien survivors of a dead, extra-galactic civilization to invade Earth from impervious flying saucers, using ray-weapons of mass destruction.

VIBE

A thrilling, yet delightfully campy, race against time as humanity faces an extraterrestrial threat. The classic stop-motion effects and Cold War anxieties create a uniquely nostalgic, yet still anxious, viewing experience.
