‘It Came from Outer Space’ Summary

Acclaimed writer, Ray Bradbury, wrote the story that this film is based on. It Came From Outer Space, starring Richard Carlson and Barbara Rush, is a science fiction classic that is as thought-provoking and tantalizing today as it was when it first “landed” on the silver screen. When amateur astronomer John Putnam (Carlson) and his fiancée Ellen Fields (Rush) are stargazing in the desert, a spaceship bursts from the sky and crashes to the ground. Just before a landslide buries the ship, a mysterious creature emerges and disappears into the darkness. Of course, when he tells his story to the sheriff (Charles Drake), John is branded a crackpot. Before long, strange things begin to happen, but will the tide of disbelief turn in time?

It Came From Outer Space is presented in 2D and 3D with 1080p video and a DTS-MA 3.0 LCR Discrete audio track. Special features include:

• The Universe According to Universal
• Theatrical Trailer (3D)
