Invaders from Mars

“NATURAL or SUPERNATURAL?”

David MacLean (Jimmy Hunt) is a boy who wakes in the night to a flying saucer coming down in the sand pit behind his house. By morning his father (Leif Erickson) and others around town have stopped acting like themselves, and no one will believe him. William Cameron Menzies makes the adults the threat, so a child's fear of the people who are meant to protect him sits at the center.
