Movie Description
A science-fiction paranoiac classic in which a boy witnesses the arrival of beings from Mars and, later, their control of increasing numbers of the town's denizens.
Synopsis
All-American boy, David MacLean awakens one night and spots an alien space ship outside his window. His parents decide to investigate, but when they return their personalities have changed -- almost as if they've become different people. Frightened, the boy tells the local police what has happened, but he gets little response until a doctor and an astronomer take him seriously. The two scientists fear the Earth has been and that they'd better act fast if humanity is going to be saved.
