An astronomer witnesses an alien spaceship landing on Earth, but after it's buried in an avalanche, no one will believe him, even after he encounters the aliens themselves.
The first of many forays into science fiction by Universal Pictures in the 1950s, this film gets that series of pictures off to a spectacular start, tapping into the fear of the unknown that was prevalent then with a quality story from sci-fi great Ray Bradbury. Featuring grotesque alien makeups, a wonderfully eerie music score, and a strong lead performance by Carlson, it's a durable classic intelligently directed by Arnold, and still relevant today.
