Cult horror legend Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist) tips his hat to the crazed invasion films of the 1950’s, spinning a creepy tale of small town paranoia in a science-fiction blast from the past. Young David Gardner’s fantastical dreams turn inside out and upside down when invaders from the red planet land in his backyard and unleash their wrath on an unsuspecting world. As the aliens take over the malleable minds of his parents, school teachers and friends alike, David becomes paralyzed with fear and threat of the unknown. With the aid of the school nurse (Karen Black) and the U.S. Marines, David must gather up the courage and ingenuity to stop them before they transform the entire human race into a mass of empty headed zombies! Also starring Timothy Bottoms, Louise Fletcher, Bud Cort and featuring eye-popping effects from the Oscar® winning specialists behind Star Wars, Aliens and Jurassic Park, Invaders From Mars amps up the eerie atmosphere and digs deep into the mind to not only capture your attention, but control it for ever!
