"Wow, a real piece of sky!"A meteor lands in the outskirts of a small mid-western town and is found by an old man. He takes the scientific route of poking it with a stick and the blob ouses out intent on absorbing anything that gets in its path. Thus the latest alien take over attempt begins and its up to Steve Andrews (Steve McQueen) a teenager with an interest in astronomy to conquer it, before it takes over the town, then the world! But how can he when none of the authorities believe him.
A typical 50's sci-fi enlivened by the presence of McQueen. It never takes itself too seriously and entertains more than most in this genre. And how can you argue against it when it has a title theme co-written by Burt Bacharach!
