This Island Earth (1955)
It’s death rays, mutant bugs, college sweethearts turned nuclear fission experts and a visit to the planet Metaluna via spaceship in this 1955 science fiction film which is now regarded as the archetypal sci-fi flick of the Fifties. The classic out-of-this-world fantasy stars Faith Domergue and Rex Reason as a pair of rocket scientistswho are spirited away from earth by the mysterious alien, Exeter (Jeff Morrow), to aid in the defense of his planet against the nefarious Zahgons. But the two romantically inclined scientists are determined to escape even if it means a battle to the death with bug-eyed creatures, a perilous flight through a meteor storm and a race through space in Exeters flying saucer.
The incredible special effects were 2 1/2 years in the making and it was filmed in “out of this world Technicolor.”
