A fleet of Martian spacecraft surrounds the world's major cities and all of humanity waits to see if the extraterrestrial visitors have, as they claim, "come in peace."

This film is a gleefully chaotic, campy spectacle that revels in its own absurdity. It's a darkly comedic, retro sci-fi romp with a frenetic pace, delivering irreverent satire through cartoonish destruction and a distinct B-movie charm. Expect a wild, over-the-top ride.
