An "unknown force" declares war against planet Earth when the United Nations disobeys warnings to cease and desist in its attempts at assembling the first satellite in the atmosphere.

VIBE

This film crackles with Cold War anxiety and a palpable sense of dread. The looming unknown force creates a tense atmosphere, making Earth's vulnerability feel stark and immediate. It's a classic, paranoid sci-fi chill.
