Synopsis
This month we revisit the 1953 science fiction film INVADERS FROM MARS! A favorite of director Steven Spielberg, this will be the first time we discuss a director for the second time... (William Cameron Menzies also directed 1936's THINGS TO COME)
Curious adolescent David confronts aliens who have set up base in his backyard. The extraterrestrials intend to use mind control on the local townsfolk.
Determined to stop the invaders, who have already co-opted his father, he attempts to warn others. But when local law officers also succumb, David teams up with astronomer Stuart Kelston and Dr. Pat Blake to fight off the insidious intruders.
