Young David McLean (Jimmy Hunt), is a keen amateur astronomer who sees a spaceship crash into a nearby sandpit one night. His father investigates, but returns somehow different, colder, aloof and angry. Soon others fall prey to the same condition, and David believes aliens are taking over, but who will believe him? Fortunately he comes across a Pat Blake (Helena Carter), a doctor who is friends with a local astronomer, Stuart Kelston (Arthur Franz). Can they discover what is happening and what is underneath the sandpit?A fantastically realised 50's sci-fi, which features a wonderful visual style, that plays up the fact that we are small fry in a large universe.
