A 1950s B-movie alien invasion thriller built on paranoia and atomic-age anxieties, where a pilot must convince skeptical authorities of an extraterrestrial threat.

Atomic scientist/pilot Doug Martin is missing after his plane crashes on an reconnaissance mission after a nuclear test. Miraculously appearing unhurt at the base later, he is given sodium amethol, but authorities are skeptical of his story that he was captured by aliens determined to conquer the Earth with giant monsters and insects. Martin vows to use existing technology to destroy them.
