Invaders from Mars

Synopsis: One night, young David McLean sees a spaceship crash into a nearby sandpit. His father goes to investigate, but comes back changed. Where once he was cheerful and affectionate, he's now sullen and snarlingly rude. Others fall into the sandpit and begin acting like him: cold, ill-tempered and conspiratorial. David knows that aliens are taking over the bodies of humans, but he'll soon discover there have been far more of these terrible thefts than he could have imagined. The young doom-monger finds some serious help in a lady doctor and a brilliant astronomer. Soon they meet the aliens: green creatures with insect-like eyes. These beings prove to be slaves to their leader: a large, silent head with ceaselessly shifting eyes and two tentacles on either side, each of which branches off into three smaller tentacles. It's up to the redoubtable earth trio to stop its evil plans.

The Invaders from Mars

Heaven, once subject

superstitions and fears

Today

becoming better known.

The distance of Venus,

Mars' atmosphere,

the size of Jupiter

and the speed of Mercury,

we know them.

But Heaven has kept his secret.

What life, if there is one,

exists on these other planets?

Y does it like us humans?

Inferior beings?

Dangerously or higher?

Continually seek

the answer to this question,

Such is the concern

scholars.

Of famous scientists

or unknown ...

Scholars from major universities

or to smaller,

Scholars ...

of all ages.

What are you doing, honey?

Nothing, Mary.

I'll make the coffee.

It is 4 am.

4 hours! The alarm clock rang.

You dreamed.

It is about 7:
30,

as usual.

It's that rascal ...

David ...

I did not want to wake you up.

You saw earlier?

Orion is at its zenith.

It will not happen in six years.

Let me see.

It's not worth it?

It's true we see the well.

We always see Rigel,

but locate the great nebula ...

While the two in bed!

I told him that ...

I've already learned for a husband,

my son should follow in his footsteps?

Come on, David, in bed.

- A few more minutes.

- No, it's much too early.

And will not move forward

to hear your mother in the kitchen.

No, your father. I earlier

I wake up, before I sleep.

Good night, David.

Good night, Mom.

Good night, Dad.

You sleep, huh?

Okay.

Good night, my son.

- Dad!

- What was there, son?

One trick landed in the sandpit.

Something bright!

- Huh?

- I'll show you!

You had to stay in bed?

I was sleeping. It woke me up.

A light that illuminated everything!

It landed right there!

You dreamed! If it was a meteor,

everyone would be awake.

But it did not fall!

It has landed!

- A spaceship?

- How big?

- As big as ...

- A plane?

Bigger!

I do not see anything outside.

Not anymore. But ...

Go back to bed, my boy.

All that is in your imagination.

- I saw it!

- How was it?

Difficult to specify.

A light that has weakened.

Then a buzz.

Tomorrow, wake up, if there are

a saucer, it will notify

General Mayberry.

- But ...

- Tomorrow!

OK!

Be reasonable.

Good night.

- What's going on?

- Go back to sleep.

- David calmed down?

- Yes! Sorry to have woken up.

- Why do you rise?

- Nothing. I come back.

George! What's going on?

David said he saw

something in the landing field.

This is absurd,

but he seemed sure of himself?

"Landing"?

He said he saw

bright light and ...

Imagine, this is not his style.

My job is top secret,

I must report any discrepancies.

- It puts the sounds ...

- Sounds?

But I can not tell you.

I'd better go see.

George!

George!

Where is your son now?

He sleeps.

I did not wake up.

Your husband has put his slippers,

he came out and it disappeared?

Go see if you find it!

Your husband has never disappeared

before?

But no!

You know,

scholars are so distracted ...

My husband is an engineer.

It's not a wacky!

Instead go see ...

We must know all the facts.

Our report was to be done.

Come on, Blaine.

There's one, for sure.

Flying saucers!

And then what?

Let's go.

He is not here.

Precisely,

I'd love a coffee.

- George MacLean!

- It's been there.

Take the north,

I take this side.

Farewell coffee.

- Did you sleep well, darling?

- Yes. What time is it?

Almost eight hours.

- Where is Daddy?

- He left early.

- He promised me ...

- Enough. Your mother is tired ...

We'll drink coffee?

Are you there?

I was worried!

He was not at the factory?

Whatever.

- Where were you?

- I went to see Bill Wilson.

- In your pajamas?

- In pajamas, actually.

- But ...

- End point.

- Your other slipper?

- End point!

Notify the police ...

What police officers?

I was afraid. I warned

the police. They're looking for.

- David, will tell them ...

- Stay where you are!

They are outside?

Yes. What's going on?

What has he?

Do me the pleasure

to take care of your onions.

These police will question me.

Their answer?

- You can tell them well ...

- It's coming for coffee?

Outside, you saw something?

You will not start

with your saucers!

- Dad!

- What now?

On your neck, it looks like a ...

A scratch

of barbed wire ...

There are none ...

Of barbed wire,

I tell you!

File get dressed!

Yes, hurry up.

You have errands to run.

I'm sorry ...

This is your husband?

George MacLean. Heartbroken

my wife has disturbed you.

- It does not matter.

- You ... you feel good?

Yes, very well.

We will not report.

Everything is forgotten,

is not it, Mary?

- Coffee?

- Do not talk nonsense.

These gentlemen

have an important task.

Yes, you too.

Yes, I know.

See you.

You waiting for?

Looks like you plotting.

Do not talk nonsense!

I told you to get dressed!

Well?

What is happening?

- I want to see mom.

- She dresses.

- What do you want?

- Nothing.

What are you doing?

Nothing. I play.

Go and play with Andy.

Approach.

I warn you:

defense of storytelling

what you claim to have seen.

Got it?

Who was that?

Your son.

He told me he was going to Andy.

We start in town?

You go first

accompany me outside.

I have something to show you.

Mr. Wilson is there?

No, my husband left

until tonight. Why?

Party? My father told me

he saw him this morning!

You must be mistaken, my dear.

You're the first to come this morning.

What's going on?

Ms. Wilson,

Kathy has disappeared.

Disappeared? What do you mean?

In the sandpit.

I saw through the telescope.

Swallowed up!

Where is she? What has happened?

It's true! The floor was opened ...

David, answer me!

Where is she?

Kathy! Where were you?

I went to pick flowers.

David!

You dare to come and terrorize me!

Sorry ...

- Making up stories like that!

- I'm sorry.

Ms. Wilson,

there is fire you!

Look, David ...

Firefighters!

Unnecessary. We spilled gasoline.

There was fire

everywhere!

Were stored gasoline in the garage!

There is a spilled bottle

and that's what burns!

You played in the basement?

The 4-3-5-5-9, please.

Hello, David.

Sorry, Professor Kelston is out.

message

When he returns?

In my opinion, not before

this afternoon.

Damn!

Well, never mind. Thank you.

Here, Mr. Mitchell. The fun!

Jim! Jim!

They had Kathy!

They had my father!

What?

I saw it land there and ...

- Minute. You saw what land?

- A spaceship.

I saw it!

Are you kidding?

It's true, I say!

The police,

them they did the same.

Who?

Believe me! You gotta help me.

We have to help Dad.

Okay, but calm down.

- Where are you going?

- Call.

Do not call Dad!

Do not worry. I come back.

I want to see the Chief.

Chef?

It must be important.

I must see him.

What's bothering you?

You can tell me, to me.

I refer to the Head.

When one wants to see the Chief,

I must first explain why.

I have no time.

Let me see it!

- You would not believe me.

- And the Chief?

What's going on?

You're in luck.

This kid is determined to see you.

It appears that I would not believe.

- You're the Chef?

- It's me.

What do you want?

You talk one on one.
