"The original 20th century landmark science fiction thriller that played on the paranoia and Communist threat invading Atomic Age America in the 1950s. A young boy is awakened during a storm to witness a flying saucer land in the field behind his home. No one will believe his story as, one by one, the townspeople are captured and put under the control of sinister forces from the planet Mars"--Container.

Really just a war film submitted by richgaeth on September 14, 2011, 12:42am Blade Runner? The original Aliens? Not! Post WW2 fear of communists taking over America, represented as people from Mars. This really just a war film. Blast the enemy! They think we should have nothing individual and should only be slaves to the system. What about shopping, SUV's, and our McMansions?!

Good submitted by catherinek on June 18, 2013, 1:13pm My brother really loves it!

Wretched submitted by KidBlue on November 21, 2014, 9:24pm Invaders From Mars a corny, terribly made film. It is padded -overstuffed, really - with stock footage of tanks coming, but they never seem to arrive anywhere. The dialogue is excruciating. The kid is obnoxious. The color and stage-bound sets are awful. This has a cult-following (I have no idea why), but it cannot compare the classic science-fiction films of the era - Invasion of the Body Snatchers, This Island Earth, Forbidden Planet and the Day the Earth Stood Still.
