Chief Warrant Officer Sam Jacobs (Jack Kruschen), Dr. Iris Ryan (Nora Hayden), Professor Theodore Gettell (Les Tremayne) and Col. Tom O'Bannion (Gerald Mohr) are astronauts aboard the spaceship MR-1, the first mission to Mars. Shortly after their rocket reaches the mysterious red planet, the band of brave space explorers discovers monstrous yet highly intelligent alien life forms, which first attack, then deliver a haunting word of warning intended for all mankind.

00:00:00The End
00:00:30Colonel Trigger?
00:01:00At 0300 this morning, the Expeditionary X-1 rocket ship, missing for 61 days, was sighted by Mount Palomar, drifting in orbit some 90,000 miles out in space.
00:01:14All attempts to establish radio communication have failed so far.
00:01:19We don't know if anyone is left alive on board.
00:01:21The MR-1 appears to be a dead ship.
00:01:25We've had no contact with the rocket since it entered Mars orbit over two months ago and reported preparing to land on the planet.
00:01:32The ship was believed to have crashed in the landing attempt, but she didn't.
00:01:37Gentlemen, the Mars rocket must be retrieved and brought back to Earth intact.
00:01:41That's a tall order, George.
00:01:43I know, but the recording instruments on that ship contain priceless information covering the entire trip.
00:01:49We must have it.
00:01:51Professor Weiner, what are our chances?
00:01:53They depend on several factors, General.
00:01:56The MR-1 is, of course, equipped with robot control, which can be activated by remote triggering from Earth, if they're operative.
00:02:03The Nevada base is alerted to handle it.
00:02:06They're on standby.
00:02:08Go on, Professor.
00:02:09If there's enough fuel on board, we can send the ship homing for the Nevada base.
00:02:13And if the fuel holds out through the re-entry deceleration, we can set her down safely.
00:02:19Here's another if.
00:02:20What if there is someone on board, alive?
00:02:24Major Ross, has communications established any contact?
00:02:27No, sir.
00:02:29None.
00:02:30Could be radio failure.
00:02:31Someone must have taken the ship off Mars.
00:02:34The unexpected, remotely controlled acceleration of, uh, of...
00:02:38Five, six Gs.
00:02:40Five, six Gs could be dangerous to them.
00:02:42Even fatal.
00:02:43And how long will they last if we leave them out there?
00:02:50Then it's decided.
00:02:52We take off for Nevada at once.
00:03:23All I can tell you is that if this happens, right, everything's fine up here.
00:03:40Believe me, there's no problem.
00:03:41I think we ought to do this...
00:03:42We're getting them now, sir.
00:03:43On the radar telescope screen.
00:03:44I don't know.
00:03:47There she is.
00:03:48Good.
00:03:50Are you ready?
00:03:52Yes.
00:03:53Activate.
00:03:58Attention, please.

00:05:01One.
00:05:08She's up.
00:05:10Great.
00:05:10Then there is fuel aboard.
00:05:12Right.
00:05:13But there's only one question.
00:05:14How much?
00:05:16Well done, Professor.
00:05:17Davis, I want the exact arrival time of the ship computed.
00:05:20Notify me as soon as you have it.
00:05:21Yes, sir.
00:05:22The answers to this and many other questions posed by anxious officials may come tonight
00:05:39when an attempt will be made to land the Mars rocket ship at a remote Air Force base in
00:05:44Nevada.
00:05:45There is still the question of fuel.
00:05:48Does the ship have enough fuel left for a safe deceleration?
00:05:50Or will it burn up in our atmosphere like a blazing meteor?
00:05:56The world waits with suspense to learn the fate of the ship's crew of four.
00:06:01Seen here in newsreel shots prior to the departure of the MR-1.
00:06:06Colonel Tom O'Banion, United States Air Force.
00:06:10The pilot navigator.
00:06:11Dr. Iris Ryan, brilliant young authority on the sciences of biology and zoology.
00:06:17Daughter of the late Professor Alfred Ryan.
00:06:19Professor Theodore Gattel, the designer of the rocket ship and the world's foremost authority
00:06:24on space and rocketry.
00:06:27And Chief Warrant Officer Sam Jacobs, electronics and radar expert.
00:06:33The prayers of a grateful nation tonight will be offered in the hope that these four survive
00:06:39their history-making flights.
00:07:09Five minutes more.
00:07:15What do you think? Anyone aboard?
00:07:17Alive, I mean.
00:07:18We'll know soon enough.
00:07:20Hey, look.
00:07:36You know what I think?
00:07:37What?
00:07:37That thing up there.
00:07:38It's a flying coffin.
00:07:43Looks good so far.
00:07:47Colonel Davis, anything on the distant radiation counter?
00:07:50Negative.
00:07:51Radiation monitors in position.
00:07:54Radiation monitors checked.
00:07:59Attention, please.
00:08:00This is a repeat of previous instructions.
00:08:03No one is to approach the ship unless ordered by control.
00:08:05I repeat.
00:08:07No one is to approach the ship unless so were.
00:08:10Oh, give me the ship.
00:08:11I'm going to do it.
00:08:14Come on.
00:08:15Ask him.
00:08:19IukeUI
00:08:22skin kicking.
00:08:23Go, go.
00:08:26Go, go.
00:08:27Go, go, go.
00:08:31Let's go.
00:09:01All counts still in the green zone.
00:09:31All radiation within safety zone.
00:09:35Good.
00:09:36Radiation monitors, stand back.
00:09:38Recovery squad, move up.
00:09:40No shielding necessary to open airlock.
00:09:43Monitors, stand by to check interior radiation.
00:09:47Hold it, look.
00:09:48Recovery squad, hold.
00:09:50Someone's alive.
00:09:52The girl.
00:09:53To hell with radiation.
00:09:55Let's go.
00:09:57Let's go.
00:09:58Hey, come on.
00:09:59Let's go.
00:10:00Hey, come on.
00:10:01Let's go.
00:10:02Hey, wait.
00:10:03Stretcher bear.
00:10:10Hey.
00:10:11Hey.
00:10:12Hey.
00:10:13Hey.
00:10:14Hey.
00:10:15Hey.
00:10:16Hey.
00:10:17Hey.
00:10:18Stretcher bear.
00:10:19Hey, wait, wait.
00:10:22Stretch your bear!
00:10:49Come on, Sarans. Give me a break, will you?
00:11:05Who is it?
00:11:06Can't see his face.
00:11:08Hey, what is it, man?
00:11:19Come on, Iris. Anything that can be done for him will be done.
00:11:27How can anyone cope with that?
00:11:32Come on, Dr. Ryan. We'll follow.
00:11:49I've given him a sedative. We should keep him quiet.
00:12:00He's running a high temperature.
00:12:02But, Gordon, that growth, what are we up against?
00:12:06I don't know. It's spreading rapidly.
00:12:09Do you have any idea what it might be?
00:12:11No, I haven't yet.
00:12:13If we only knew how or by what he was infected,
00:12:16we might know how to combat the disease.
00:12:18But we're working in the dark.
00:12:20What about the tape records?
00:12:21Has anything been learned from them?
00:12:23That's just it.
00:12:24General Trigger informed me that there are no records.
00:12:26No tapes at all?
00:12:28Yes, many of them.
00:12:29Marked and filed from the first day out.
00:12:32They've examined about half of them by now, all of them empty.
00:12:35Nothing on them?
00:12:37Silent, as though they'd been erased by some powerful magnetic force.
00:12:42Trigger expects they're all like that.
00:12:44Then we may never know.
00:12:46We have one chance.
00:12:47The girl.
00:12:48She is actually our only hope.
00:12:50If she could give us a lead.
00:12:52What is Dr. Ryan's condition?
00:12:54Exhausting shock.
00:12:55She's resting.
00:12:56We should be able to talk to her in a couple of hours.
00:12:58We have very little time.
00:13:00I hope she comes through.
00:13:02Dr. Ryan, will you talk to us now?
00:13:17I'll try.
00:13:18How is he?
00:13:19Will he be all right?
00:13:20We're doing everything we can.
00:13:21What happened to him?
00:13:22I don't know.
00:13:23I can't remember.
00:13:24Iris, a lot will depend on what you can tell us.
00:13:26Please, try to remember.
00:13:27How was he infected?
00:13:28By what?
00:13:29I can't.
00:13:30I can't remember.
00:13:31Why don't you start at the beginning?
00:13:32Tell us everything that happened from the day you left.
00:13:34It may help clear your mind.
00:13:35Yes.
00:13:36Yes, yes.
00:13:37I'll try.
00:13:38Take off.
00:13:39I can't remember.
00:13:40I can't remember.
00:13:41Iris, a lot will depend on what you can tell us.
00:13:42Please, try to remember.
00:13:43How was he infected?
00:13:44By what?
00:13:45I can't.
00:13:46I can't remember.
00:13:47Why don't you start at the beginning?
00:13:48Tell us everything that happened from the day you left.
00:13:49It may help clear your mind.
00:13:50Yes.
00:13:51Yes, yes.
00:13:52I'll try.
00:13:53Take off was as we expected.
00:13:55We reached escape velocity, and Tom cut in the steady 1G acceleration rockets.
00:14:11We were all in high spirits as we finished our flight check.
00:14:17Well, it's not much different from the dry run in the space test cabin on the base, huh?
00:14:22A lot easier, if you ask me.
00:14:24And no eager trigger to throw imaginary problems at us either.
00:14:27That's what the man said, Sam.
00:14:29The trip will probably be boring routine.
00:14:33So you blasé space travelers don't get too bored, the radiation count is jumping.
00:14:38Radioactive media?
00:14:40Looks like it.
00:14:42Both the radar scope pattern and the erratic gamma count fit.
00:14:45Well, let's double check.
00:14:46Vigil direct, too.
00:14:48Right.
00:15:04Meteor confirmed.
00:15:09Intersecting course.
00:15:16Safety margin adequate.
00:15:23I wish my parents could have seen this. They spent their lives making it possible.
00:15:32Mars.
00:15:37The red planet.
00:15:39Our destination.
00:15:40Look, both moons are visible.
00:15:42Hey, two moons. What a place for romance, huh?
00:15:45And songwriters.
00:15:47Two moons.
00:15:49Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:15:51Let's close your mouth and the port guards, huh?
00:15:54No use getting the view plate scratched up by meteor dust.
00:15:57I know, I know.
00:15:58Okay, okay.
00:15:59MR1 to EB9.
00:16:00MR1 to EB9.
00:16:01MR1 to EB9.
00:16:02Come in, please.
00:16:03Oh, Sam, get it all on tape, will you?
00:16:04I've got it on the auxiliary tape, sir.
00:16:06MR1, this is EB9.

00:16:14Oh, we're still in our own backyard.
00:16:15The radio time lags only a few seconds.
00:16:17Well, it's a couple of hours.
00:16:18Oh, that conversation's gonna be a real drag then.
00:16:20MR1.
00:16:21Base computations confirmed.

00:16:38MR1 to EB9.
00:16:39MR1 to EB9.
00:16:40You're on course.
00:16:41On schedule.
00:16:42Hey, you look real good up there.
00:16:45Over and out.
00:16:46MR1.
00:16:47Thanks a lot.
00:16:48Over and out.
00:16:49Good old mother hen watching over her four little chicks.
00:16:52We're thousands of miles out in space.
00:16:55It's hard to believe.
00:16:57MR1.
00:16:58Yeah.
00:16:59Any minute, I expect to see General Trigger come through that hatch and say,
00:17:01All right, enough work for today.
00:17:04Let's everybody go out to Tony's and have a little drink.
00:17:07Well, that'd be a little hard to do.
00:17:09Tony's is 30,000 miles from here.
00:17:12Well, we want to be able to face reality on our watch.
00:17:15Come on, Sam.
00:17:16Let's get some rest, huh?
00:17:17Okay, Professor.
00:17:18I dig.
00:17:19What's really happening?
00:17:28You know, Irish, it reminds me of when I was a kid.
00:17:32I can just see you.
00:17:34I remember when I got my first dog.
00:17:37I was crazy about that dog.
00:17:40I wanted him to sleep in my room, but my family wouldn't allow it.
00:17:44I used to go downstairs a dozen times during the night to make sure that he was there.
00:17:49Then you were sure.
00:17:51Uh-huh.
00:17:52And pretty soon people will be just as sure of space travel as I was of my dog.
00:18:02And as I'd like to be of you.
00:18:04It makes Broadway look like a dark alley.
00:18:20When we get back, Irish, how about exploring that dark alley?
00:18:27Together?
00:18:29You, Colonel, sir, may have a date.
00:18:45MR-1-2-E-B-9.

00:19:11Hey, when's chow, huh?
00:19:13Coming up.
00:19:14Come on, Tom, you can help me with the rations.
00:19:16I'd rather be calving a thick steak at Tony's.
00:19:19Make it medium rare and I'll join you.
00:19:21Will you take a rain check?
00:19:22Well, if it won't bounce.
00:19:24Here we are between two dots.
00:19:37We could miss either one of them.
00:19:40You'll never know it.
00:19:46Mars, rocket one, ration B.
00:19:49Mars, the angry red planets.
00:19:58Sounds so foreboding, doesn't it?
00:20:01Mars, ancient god of war.
00:20:04Afraid, Irish?
00:20:06A little.
00:20:07Apprehensive, I guess.
00:20:10Oh, we all are.
00:20:11We wouldn't be human.
00:20:12I know this is a funny way for a scientist to feel, but I wonder if some things aren't better unknown.
00:20:21That's what they said on the Santa Maria before they discovered the new world.
00:20:25By mistake.
00:20:26You know, Irish, you're the first scientist I've ever known with a lovely long red hair.
00:20:32And you're the first pilot I've ever gone to Mars with.
00:20:36And listen, my name is Iris, not Irish.
00:20:40I never know if you're calling me by name or nationality.
00:20:45When I call you by name, you'll know it.
00:20:52So Ula ran screaming across the burning Martian sands as the monster Angola relentlessly pursued her.
00:20:59His five arms reaching hungrily for her.
00:21:02To be continued next week.
00:21:05And that was the last issue before we took off.
00:21:09Mars.
00:21:20Martians.
00:21:22Monsters.
00:21:29I wonder if I'll ever get to see that next issue.

00:24:52Music.
00:24:52Dominic.
00:24:52Music.
00:24:52Music.
00:24:53Music.
00:24:53Music.
00:24:53Music.
00:24:54Music.
00:24:55Music.
00:24:56Music.
00:24:57Music.
00:24:58Music.
00:24:58Music.
00:24:59Music.
00:24:59Music.
00:24:59Well, shall we go out and claim the planet
00:25:29in the name of Brooklyn?
00:25:31Not yet, Sam.
00:25:32Open the viewports, Tom.
00:25:34Okay.
00:25:35Turn on the outside mic, Sam.
00:25:37Yes, sir.
00:25:48Strange.
00:25:49Nothing moves.
00:25:51Everything seems to be...
00:25:53waiting.
00:25:56Shoot anything that moves and pick up anything that doesn't.
00:25:58You know, something, I'm going to take that advice,
00:25:59especially on the first count.
00:26:01Turn up the volume, Sam.
00:26:08Well?
00:26:10Come on, Iris.
00:26:11Let's get to work on our tests, huh?
00:26:18You take the micro count and radiation.
00:26:20I'll work on the atmospheric composition, temperature.
00:26:23Keep a sharp lookout, Sammy.
00:26:25If anything moves, yell.
00:26:28You know, it's so quiet out there.
00:26:29If anything does move, I'm going to jump right out of my skin.
00:26:33Something will.
00:26:35With all that vegetation out there, there's bound to be something alive.
00:26:38You mean like five-armed Angolas?
00:26:41What?
00:26:41Don't worry, Sammy.
00:26:47We O'Banions are chum.
00:26:50Yeah, but maybe us Jacobs ain't.
00:26:54You know, my dad, when I was a kid, told me about my grandfather.
00:26:57He had sort of a sixth sense.
00:26:59Particularly in Indian country.
00:27:02When there were any Indians around, his ears would begin to twitch.
00:27:06Runs in the family.
00:27:07Oh, well, I am reassured, Colonel, sir.
00:27:10Only do me a small favor, will you?
00:27:12If your ears start to twitch, will you let me know fast?
00:27:14I'll twitch with you.
00:27:25Anything move yet, Sam?
00:27:26Not a thing.
00:27:29Stay here.
00:27:29Stay here.
00:27:59I told you not to leave that thing laying around.
00:28:06Iris tripped over it.
00:28:07She dropped a tray of test tubes.
00:28:09Why, I'm sorry, Colonel.
00:28:10It's all right, Sammy.
00:28:20No surprises, Tom.
00:28:23The atmosphere is pretty much like we thought.
00:28:26Thin. Extremely thin.
00:28:27Not enough oxygen to sustain us,
00:28:29but undoubtedly enough for some kind of native animal life.
00:28:33Well, like you said, Professor, no surprises.
00:28:41Have you seen anything yet, Sam?
00:28:43Just those frozen vegetables.
00:28:45Any sounds?
00:28:47Not a peep.
00:28:49If those Martians are out there, they must be invisible.
00:28:52No movement at all.
00:28:55Weirdsville, as my grandmother used to say.
00:28:57Yes, sir.
00:28:58Keep your eyes open, huh?
00:29:00Yes, sir.
00:29:03We've landed near the equatorial belt.
00:29:05Now, if there is any native intelligence around here,
00:29:08it should be in this area.
00:29:09I think you must be right.
00:29:16Sorry about the sound effects.
00:29:18Oh, forget it, Iris.
00:29:19This crazy silence and lack of movement's gotten us all.
00:29:22It doesn't make any sense, Sammy.
00:29:32Something's got to move.
00:29:34What's the matter, Colonel, of yours, Twitch?
00:29:35No, just a hunch.
00:29:36You know what?
00:29:37I know there's something out there.
00:29:41Sure, like the invisible Martian.
00:29:44Are you certain the outside mics are on, Sam?
00:29:47Full volume.
00:29:49You know, the atmosphere is very rare.
00:29:52It wouldn't conduct sound too well.
00:29:55Of course.
00:29:56That might also explain why the plants don't move.
00:29:59No breeze.
00:30:00I wonder, could it be intentional?
00:30:07Intentional?
00:30:08Now, I know it sounds unreasonable,
00:30:10but it just doesn't seem natural.
00:30:12Do you mean you think it's controlled?
00:30:15What beings could possibly exercise such fantastic control?
00:30:20Well, there's one way to find out.
00:30:21I'm going out there.
00:30:23Tom, wait.
00:30:23I don't want to...
00:30:24No, no, no.
00:30:24We'll all go.
00:30:26It's about time Iris and I had a chance
00:30:28to use some of this expensive lab equipment of ours.
00:30:30All right.
00:30:31Get your suits.
00:30:39You know something, Professor?
00:30:42The first time in my life I've ever really been scared.
00:30:46There's nothing out there except a bunch of crazy plants.
00:30:50It takes a brave man to admit his fears, Sam.
00:30:53We're all afraid of the unknown.
00:30:56Yeah.
00:31:00Yeah.
00:31:03You okay, Irish?
00:31:05Mm-hmm.
00:31:05I'm actually looking forward to start to work.
00:31:11No.
00:31:12I can't say that I recommend spacesuits for beautiful young dolls.
00:31:17What happened to all your lovely curves?
00:31:19No, Sammy.
00:31:20Some of the creations I've seen in New York store windows
00:31:23didn't look too much better.
00:31:24Yeah, well, I'm convinced that all fashion designers are woman haters.
00:31:27No.
00:31:35Dr. Ryan, what is it?
00:31:37What happened?
00:31:38I don't know.
00:31:40I can't remember.
00:31:42All I know is it was horrible.
00:31:44All right.
00:31:46All right.
00:31:48You rest now and we'll talk to you later.
00:31:51Nurse, sodium luminol, two and a half grains.
00:31:53Yes, doctor.
00:31:54Intervenous?
00:31:55Yes.
00:31:55She's obviously had a tremendous shock.
00:32:05She has a mental block.
00:32:07Her mind refuses to remember something.
00:32:11You noticed her memory is already beginning to take on a quality of unreality.
00:32:14We must know what happened.
00:32:16A man's life, perhaps more, depends on it.
00:32:18I know.
00:32:19Suppose this alien infection spreads to all of us.
00:32:23Every moment counts.
00:32:24What about the tapes?
00:32:26Any result?
00:32:28We've gone through nearly all of them.
00:32:30Empty.
00:32:31Dr. Ryan must remember.
00:32:32What about an acro-synthesis?
00:32:35Well, it's our only hope, but she's pretty weak.
00:32:40She ought to get some rest before we use drugs.
00:32:43Her mind might snap if we forced her to remember the horror she has so carefully obliterated from her conscious level.
00:32:51Would she be able to remember what actually happened?
00:32:54She'll be able to remember anything familiar quite normally, although when we penetrate her mind block into her suppressed memories, her recall will be undoubtedly colored by her mind's own interpretation of what she experienced.
00:33:07In effect, whenever she's remembering anything that was alien, frightening to her, we'll see it as her mind saw it.
00:33:14Exactly.
00:33:15Exactly.
00:33:16And remember, her mind had to save itself by forgetting it.
00:33:22Dr. Gordon.
00:33:26How is he?
00:33:29Is he getting worse?
00:33:31I'm afraid so.
00:33:33We don't know what it is we're fighting, Iris.
00:33:35And I'm the only one who can help you, by remembering.
00:33:44There is a way you can force me to remember, isn't there?
00:33:47There is.
00:33:50Then use it.
00:33:51Dr. Ryan, you've had quite an ordeal.
00:33:54You need to build up your strength.
00:33:56You need rest.
00:33:58The shock of forced memory recall under the influence of drugs can be dangerous for you.
00:34:03And how long can he wait?
00:34:05Please, Dr. Gordon.
00:34:35What is it, Iris?
00:34:41Port outside.
00:34:43Tom, it was horrible.
00:34:44Stay with us, Sammy.
00:34:47There's nothing there, Iris.
00:34:58But I saw it.
00:34:59What did you see?
00:35:01It was like a huge, distorted face with three bulging eyes.
00:35:06But there's nothing there now.
00:35:08I tell you, it was there.
00:35:10Hey, three eyes.
00:35:12What a crazy peep in time, huh?
00:35:14It was staring right at me.
00:35:15There's nothing moving.
00:35:19There's nothing there.
00:35:20You don't believe me, do you?
00:35:25Hey, everybody.
00:35:26Come on.
00:35:27With all this waiting around, it's a wonder I didn't get to see the thing.
00:35:30I did see it, Sam.
00:35:31I really did.
00:35:33Please.
00:35:34Couldn't you just make believe you didn't?
00:35:35I'd be much less scared.
00:35:36If that thing is out there, we won't find out about it in here.
00:35:39You're so right.
00:35:40Let's go out and take a look at tell.
00:35:42Iris, you stay here with Sammy.
00:35:44Not on your life, Colonel O'Banion.
00:35:48I'm going too.
00:35:49Well, hey, wait for me.
00:36:06I'm going too.
00:36:36Now, check your oxygen gauge.
00:37:01Okay.
00:37:02Now, this will be SOP.
00:37:04Even though these intercoms carry for miles,
00:37:07the water should always stay inside of me.
00:37:10Sam, your ultrasonic freeze gun hooked up all right?
00:37:11Yes, sir.
00:37:12Why don't we check it?
00:37:15That plant over there.
00:37:16All right, huh?
00:37:39Yeah.
00:37:41Very all right.
00:37:42Wow.
00:37:42The pickup mics are on, Tom.
00:37:44I heard a chatter.
00:37:45How about you?
00:37:46Yes, checks.
00:37:47Loud and clear.
00:37:47Four by four.
00:37:48All right.
00:37:49Let's go and see what's in that jungle.
00:37:50Let's go.
00:37:57Let's go.
00:37:58so
00:38:58Come on, Irish.
00:39:06Wait a minute. I won't be long.
00:39:08This is amazing.
00:39:10Just let me make a preliminary examination.
00:39:12If you ask me, I think we ought to make a preliminary examination for Martians.
00:39:16Yeah, we can stay here for a while.
00:39:19You cover that side and I'll stay here, Sammy.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:28Fantastic.
00:39:32All the characteristics of plant life, but hardly any chlorophyll.
00:39:37And there seem to be indications of a nervous system.
00:39:42Nervous system?
00:39:43Well, it looks like it.
00:39:44Of course, I'll have to make some more specific tests.
00:39:47What about the minerals?
00:39:49Well, I haven't found anything yet to contradict the theory that the basic matter throughout the universe is the same.
00:39:54But I have run across some most unusual chemical combinations.
00:39:58Almost like fingers.
00:40:10Where are you going, Irish?
00:40:12I'm tracing this vine.
00:40:13I'm curious to see where it comes from.
00:40:15You better stick close to me.
00:40:16Oh, Tom, really.
00:40:18I know you think I acted like an hysterical female back in the ship.
00:40:21But I assure you I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself.
00:40:25I won't get out of your sight.
00:40:28Have it your way, Irish.
00:40:30Irish.
00:40:30Irish.
00:40:30Irish.
00:40:30Irish.
00:40:30Irish.
00:40:30Irish.
00:40:30Irish.
00:40:31Irish.
00:40:31Irish.
00:40:37Irish.
00:40:37Irish.
00:40:38Irish.
00:40:38Irish.
00:40:38Irish.
00:40:38THE END
00:41:08THE END
00:41:38THE END
00:41:40THE END
00:41:42THE END
00:41:44THE END
00:41:46THE END
00:41:48Get him, Sam! Get him!
00:42:18I think so. Just let me count to ten.
00:42:23Count to a hundred if you like.
00:42:26I'm all right now.
00:42:28Hey, what was that thing?
00:42:30It's a giant carnivorous plant, Sam.
00:42:33It feeds by trapping animals and digesting live.
00:42:37Lots of luck.
00:42:39Here, come on, take a look.
00:42:48If it weren't for you and Tom, that could have been me.
00:42:57Well, at least we know there's animal life up here, huh?
00:43:00Now he tells me. It's remarkable.
00:43:03You were right, Iris.
00:43:05This is more than just a plant.
00:43:07It's a low form of neuromuscular vegetal creature.
00:43:10What do you say we call it a day and go back to the ship?
00:43:13I agree.
00:43:14We've had enough excitement and swashbuckling for one day.
00:43:17I'm for that.
00:43:19Any swash I ever had just came unbuckled.
00:43:21Let's go.
00:43:39I'm sure glad the boys in Ordnance developed you, baby.
00:43:42I think I'll call you Cleopatra
00:43:46because you're such a cool doll.
00:43:50Believe me, Cleo, you and I will never part.
00:43:53Never.
00:44:06Here's Sammy for your scrapbook.
00:44:08Hey, what a handsome couple.
00:44:10Look, Colonel.
00:44:11Me and my new pinup.
00:44:16There must be other creatures around.
00:44:20You better take care of that thing.
00:44:22You never know what else we'll find.
00:44:24Or what'll find us.
00:44:26Oh, well.
00:44:28Chin up, Sammy boy.
00:44:30Chin up.
00:44:31You know, Sam, there's only a little bit of difference between keeping your chin up and sticking your neck out.
00:44:38Colonel, sir, I, for one, know it.
00:44:42Now.
00:44:44What's that thing really trying to kill Iris?
00:44:48It wasn't just a friendly embrace.
00:44:50But why weren't we attacked before?
00:44:52We all passed that, that plant creature.
00:44:56What are you driving at, Professor?
00:44:58Well, I can't help feeling that we're being watched.
00:45:02That there is some purpose behind it all.
00:45:04Hey, what's the matter, Professor?
00:45:05Your ears twitched too?
00:45:11Obviously, there is animal life here.
00:45:13Probably intelligent life as well.
00:45:15And yet we haven't seen any.
00:45:17Now, this quiet.
00:45:20This lack of motion.
00:45:22Oh, you still think it's...
00:45:24It's intentional.
00:45:26Controlled.
00:45:28I...
00:45:29I don't know.
00:45:30But why?
00:45:31Perhaps, in a way, we're being controlled too.
00:45:35Through the actions of these lower life forms.
00:45:38Kept harmless, so to speak.
00:45:40What could control all life here?
00:45:43Well, it could be some super-intelligent community mind, I suppose.
00:45:47Community mind?
00:45:48Yes.
00:45:50Like the inexplicable mysterious control which keeps a colony of ants functioning in perfect unity back on Earth.
00:45:56Look, I got news for you, Professor. I'll take the ants any day.
00:45:59We have four days left to find out.
00:46:02Isn't your Earth contact a little late, Sammy?
00:46:05It is.
00:46:06Over an hour late.
00:46:12Try your equipment.
00:46:16It's not equipment failure. I got nothing but dead air.
00:46:20Keep your line open and try transmitting.
00:46:22This is MR1.
00:46:25And this is a test transmission.
00:46:28No use. Our signal keeps bouncing back at us.
00:46:32I can't get through.
00:46:37There must be some kind of ionized layer in the Martian atmosphere, keeping those radio waves from going through.
00:46:43Yeah, and keeping Earth's reports from reaching us.
00:46:46I never heard of anything that would have stopped the frequencies I'm using.
00:46:49Well, you're hearing about it now.
00:46:51Keep taping our reports, Sammy.
00:46:53We're gonna stay here the full five days, even if it means no contact with Earth.
00:46:58We're gonna stay here the full five days, even if it means no contact with Earth.
00:47:05Hard dead air.
00:47:23Jumpy, Irish?
00:47:24Afraid so. A little.
00:47:27See anything?
00:47:28Nothing.
00:47:30Everything seems to be dead out there.
00:47:32It's like a nightmare of unending silence.
00:47:35I know.
00:47:37We all feel it.
00:47:41Then it isn't just me because I'm a woman?
00:47:45Women don't have any monopoly on fear.
00:47:48Men are more afraid of being called cowards.
00:47:52Cowardice is one thing I guess we can never forgive ourselves.
00:47:58Look, sun's rising.
00:48:00Yeah.
00:48:02It looks sort of angry.
00:48:07All right, everybody.
00:48:09Come and get it.
00:48:10Breakfast ready.
00:48:11Hot coffee, hardtack, and vitamin pill.
00:48:32We'll head off in that direction.
00:48:48Now remember, stay together.
00:48:49I'll get you back.
00:48:49Come now.
00:48:50Do you want it?
00:48:51Well, we're in there.
00:49:07Come on, Irish.
00:49:32Well, this certainly looks different.
00:49:33Look, those trees over there, they look different too.
00:49:36Yeah, like nothing we've seen.
00:49:38Hey, let's take a closer look at them.
00:49:40Okay, Sammy can tell you, stay here.
00:49:42Keep Cleo handy.
00:49:44I'll go with you.
00:49:58Doesn't look like bark.
00:50:00Let me have your machete, Tom.
00:50:03Here.
00:50:06Now, come on.
00:50:10Come on.
00:50:18No.
00:50:25Come on.
00:50:26Come on.
00:50:27Look out, Professor!
00:50:57Colonel, I'm giving her all she's got, she won't move her!
00:51:21Cleo isn't budging her!
00:51:24Stay here!
00:51:27Aim for the eyes, Sam!
00:51:37Blind it!
00:51:42Get it!
00:51:49Aim for the eyes, Sam!
00:51:50Blind it!
00:51:52Get it!
00:51:53Are you all right?
00:52:00Yeah.
00:52:01Give me a moment.
00:52:03Are you hurt?
00:52:04No, no worries.
00:52:05I'll be all right.
00:52:06No, no worries.
00:52:07I'll be all right.
00:52:08No, no worries.
00:52:09I'll be all right.
00:52:10No, the bones don't have just burst a bit.
00:52:14By some playmate.
00:52:15King Kong's big brother.
00:52:16Even Cleo only gave it a slight chill.
00:52:29You must be about 40 feet high.
00:52:31Come on.
00:52:32Let's get back to the ship.
00:52:34No, no, no.
00:52:35Wait, Iris.
00:52:36We don't have much time exploring as it is.
00:52:38We mustn't lose any more of it on account of me.
00:52:40It's too important.
00:52:41I'll be fine.
00:52:42I've been curious as to what's on the other side of that ridge.
00:52:44Let's go.
00:53:14I can see you Rodney.
00:53:17Let's go.
00:53:18Let's go.
00:53:19Let's go.
00:53:20Let's go.
00:53:21Let's go.
00:53:25See you on the other side.
00:53:44Well, there it is, a Martian lake.
00:53:49It has that same feeling of deadness.
00:53:52Yeah.
00:53:53No, wait a minute, Iris.
00:54:06It's all right.
00:54:07No abnormal radiation.
00:54:09There's water on Mars after all.
00:54:14Besides the polar ice caps on me.
00:54:17If it is water.
00:54:19It feels kind of oily.
00:54:21Seems...
00:54:23Seems heavier than ordinary water.
00:54:25Well, it probably has an entirely different mineral content.
00:54:29I'm sure it couldn't sustain life.
00:54:31At least not life as we know it.
00:54:34I wonder what's on the other side.
00:54:36Now, tomorrow we'll bring the boat.
00:54:38The lake isn't too wide.
00:54:40We'll have a look.
00:54:44It's getting late.
00:54:45We made in more creatures like that last one.
00:54:48I'd hate to have to fight them in the dark.
00:54:50Come on.
00:55:08Some baby, that rat-bat spider nightmare, huh?
00:55:20Walked away from Cleo and even after Cleo turned on all her charms, too.
00:55:23At least she scared it away.
00:55:25Yeah.
00:55:26Good girl, that Cleo, huh?
00:55:28You know the only thing that bothers me?
00:55:31Someday maybe she'll meet a monster that'll ignore her.
00:55:35Break her heart.
00:55:37Mine, too.
00:55:38Irish.
00:55:39Sam.
00:55:40The professor and I have come to a decision.
00:55:43Yes.
00:55:44In view of everything, we've decided not to stay the full five days.
00:55:47Huh?
00:55:48And we're gonna take off tonight.
00:55:50Tonight?
00:55:51Mm-hmm.
00:55:52Sam, prepare the panel for takeoff, will you?
00:55:54Yes, sir.
00:55:55But why?
00:55:56Well, Iris, it's probably mostly because of me.
00:55:59You see, I can't seem to get it out of my head that there is an even greater danger here than we realize.
00:56:05The controlling force?
00:56:07Yes.
00:56:08Now, look, my orders from General Trigger were to take no unnecessary chances.
00:56:12We've fulfilled our mission.
00:56:13We've landed on Mars.
00:56:14Mm-hmm.
00:56:15And we've collected a lot of information.
00:56:17Plenty to prepare for the next expedition.
00:56:19Now, prepare for blast-off.
00:56:21Strap in.
00:56:32You tell, close the ports.
00:56:34Right.
00:56:38Okay.
00:56:43Instrument lights.
00:56:49Minus 15 seconds.
00:56:50Mark.
00:56:52Main firing switches.
00:56:54On.
00:56:55Minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:57:04Fire.

00:57:15Minus 10, 8, 8, 9, 9.

00:57:31Vosnie.
00:57:33Schluter.
00:57:34What is it, Tom?
00:57:53We can save our fuel.
00:57:55We're not going anywhere.
00:57:58Look, every pin is glued to the top.
00:58:00We're in some sort of a force field.
00:58:03Tremendously powerful.
00:58:06Holding us right here.
00:58:08The control.
00:58:11Whoever they are, they don't want us to leave.
00:58:22Why don't they come out in the open, whoever they are?
00:58:25This waiting.
00:58:28Uncertainty.
00:58:29Not knowing.
00:58:30Why are they keeping us here?
00:58:34What do they want with us?
00:58:36What are we, guinea pigs?
00:58:38Take it easy, Irish, easy.
00:58:41Now think a minute.
00:58:42They can't really want to harm us.
00:58:44If they did, they could have destroyed us a long time ago.
00:58:47They must have another reason for keeping us here.
00:58:50Tom, I've run a few tests.
00:58:53We're being held by a gravitational pull so strong that it would take a hundred times the thrust power we have to break free.
00:58:58I wonder, will we ever get back to Earth again?
00:59:03Oh, we're not going to wait.
00:59:05Sam, break out the boat.
00:59:07We'll see what's across that lake.
00:59:09We'll see what's across that lake.
00:59:39That the other shore was just over the horizon.
00:59:41We did.
00:59:42Well, then we should see it quite soon.
00:59:45I don't like this place.
00:59:47I'm with you.
00:59:48Why?
00:59:50It's so dead.
00:59:53Well, it's better than that welcome forest we just ran into.
00:59:57Tom, take a look at this.
00:59:59What do you think of it?
00:59:59Now we're getting somewhere.
01:00:08Those buildings didn't just grow, they were made.
01:00:13Let's get closer.
01:00:15Yeah.
01:00:16Look at those Martian girls.
01:00:17We thought we had it made.
01:00:28How tall are those buildings?
01:00:31Well, at least half a mile, I'd say.
01:00:32Oh, look at that.
01:00:53Oh, look at that.
01:00:53Oh, look at that.
01:01:23Oh, look at that.
01:01:50Irish, you can tell, get back to the ship.
01:01:54Sam, Frank Leo again.
01:01:56Yeah, right.
01:02:20Pirates!
01:02:50Hold the door!
01:03:06Hold it!
01:03:07Colonel!
01:03:20Close the door.
01:03:49Sam, he just...
01:04:10Easy, Irish, easy.
01:04:11I'll open the view porch.
01:04:15Look!
01:04:19Try the screens.
01:04:28It's all around us.
01:04:31Tom, your arm.
01:04:33Part of that creature touched you.
01:04:36It's eaten right through the suit.
01:04:37Like, like Sam.
01:04:39You better get out of that.
01:04:40I'll get some myosin compound, just in case.
01:04:44Give me that suit, Tom.
01:04:46We'll put it in the disposal unit.
01:04:52Iris, what is your opinion of that creature?
01:04:57Well, I'm sure it's a unicellular animal.
01:04:59Two areas inside it must be the nucleus and the contractile vacuole.
01:05:03Oh, wait a minute.
01:05:03Whoa.
01:05:04Let me in on it, Iris, huh?
01:05:06It's like an amoeba, Tom.
01:05:08A giant amoeba.
01:05:09One single cell without intelligence, without a nervous system at all.
01:05:14Reacts completely on instinct to external stimuli.
01:05:17Now, we must be safe in here.
01:05:20The amoeba engulfs its prey and digests it with extremely strong acids.
01:05:26It's trying to get to us.
01:05:28It's incredible.
01:05:30Well, I wouldn't say that, Tom.
01:05:32Not after what we saw it do to poor Sam.
01:05:35Yeah.
01:05:36It'll take time.
01:05:37But it probably can eat right through the ship.
01:05:40Oh, we've got to get rid of it some way.
01:05:42But how?
01:05:43It can't even be touched with anything we have.
01:05:46Iris, you've experimented with amoeba on Earth.
01:05:48What sort of thing affects them?
01:05:49They're almost impossible to kill.
01:05:51Even if you cut them in half, both parts will live.
01:05:55Well, there's got to be some way to get at it.
01:05:56It can insist, Tom.
01:05:59That is, secrete and form a sort of protective envelope.
01:06:03That's how it withstood the sonic gun.
01:06:06Heat, fire.
01:06:08I could turn on the rocket.
01:06:10Oh, you can't do that, Tom.
01:06:12With that creature clogging our thrust chamber, we'd have an internal explosion.
01:06:16Oh, we've got to do something.
01:06:19I can't think of anything.
01:06:23Hey, wait a minute.
01:06:25I do remember.
01:06:26We experimented with electricity.
01:06:28What happened?
01:06:29Well, the power from a small flashlight battery killed thousands of amoeba.
01:06:34That's it, electric shock.
01:06:36I can generate half a million volts.
01:06:38But how are you going to get to it, to electrocute it?
01:06:41You can't go outside or even open the airlock.
01:06:43I won't have to.
01:06:46But what I have in mind could backfire.
01:06:49If you both don't agree, I won't go through with it.
01:06:51What is your plan, Tom?
01:06:56I'll need your help.
01:06:57Check me out.
01:06:58This ship has a double hull, right?
01:07:00That's correct.
01:07:01The outer hull acts as a meteor bumper.
01:07:03And the outer hull is completely insulated from the inner one?
01:07:06It's quite effectively.
01:07:07Good.
01:07:08Now, is there any way I can get to the outer hull from in here?
01:07:12One place only.
01:07:13The detector instrument cable access channel.
01:07:16I want to feed the radar power through the outer hull.
01:07:20Can it be done?
01:07:22Well, it would take a lot of rewiring, but yes, we can do it.
01:07:27You see, what I have in mind is to feed the current through the outer hull
01:07:30without it spilling back into the inner one.
01:07:33What do you think?
01:07:35And if there is a spill?
01:07:38Then we won't have to wait for that thing to eat through to us.
01:07:44Well, I'm for it.
01:07:46So I am.
01:07:50Good.
01:07:50Let's go.
01:08:10Almost through.
01:08:12Open the view plates.
01:08:16Now, that's it.
01:08:31Cut in the generators.
01:08:32Let's go.
01:08:32Let's go.
01:08:46Go ahead, Tom.
01:08:48Oh, my God.
01:09:18It's hell.
01:09:32It's hell.
01:09:33What is it?
01:09:36It's all right, Iris.
01:09:38It's all right.
01:09:41Just a little pain, that's all.
01:09:44The exertion, I suppose.
01:09:46Oh, come on. Take it easy, Professor.
01:09:49I'll start rewiring, just in case whatever's holding us here decides to let us blast off in a few days.
01:09:57The radio works.
01:10:00The force field must be off.
01:10:01Turn on the recorder, Irish.
01:10:03Men of Earth, we of the planet Mars give you this warning.
01:10:12Listen carefully and remember.
01:10:13Professor Gatel.
01:10:35Iris, I'm sorry.
01:10:41The take-off.
01:10:45The acceleration pressure.
01:10:46Don't talk now.
01:10:49Let me help.
01:10:51No, no.
01:10:53Wait, Irish.
01:10:57The ship.
01:11:01Larry.
01:11:04You, you must try...
01:11:05Tom.
01:11:06Tom.
01:11:16Tom.
01:11:18In the cabin.
01:11:20The cabin.
01:11:21The cabin.
01:11:21The cabin.
01:11:21The cabin.
01:11:23The cabin.
01:11:27Bring over now.
01:11:30Do.
01:11:31Celie.
01:11:36We wereolyn calling her,
01:11:36which is all the time you asked her.
01:11:38Don't we suppose to bring her?
01:11:39When she rendezvous.
01:11:40Before testing.
01:11:41There's no reason.
01:11:42You said we're going to assist?
01:11:44What's the Carcation,
01:11:45what's going on in the cabin?
01:11:46The cabin.
01:11:46The cabin.
01:11:46We're going to take you.
01:11:47That's going to have something to help her.
01:11:48Don't know.
01:11:48Don't worry about that.
01:11:49Creator's Okay,
01:11:50Garden.
01:11:51He's gone,
01:11:51the cabin.
01:11:51PIANO PLAYS
01:12:21Oh, my God.
01:12:51Oh, my God.
01:13:21Oh, my God.
01:13:51Oh, my God.
01:14:21Oh, my God.
01:14:51Hey, try to remember.
01:14:53I don't know.
01:14:55But Tom, he had me turn on the tape recorder.
01:14:59Maybe the last tape.
01:15:02Nurse, light, please.
01:15:04Here you are, doctor.
01:15:05What is it?
01:15:11Exhaustion.
01:15:12Will she be all right?
01:15:14With a lot of rest.
01:15:17A giant amoeba.
01:15:18He told us what we had to know.
01:15:25About Tom?
01:15:26Yes.
01:15:28It's an enzymatic infection.
01:15:31And my new part of the amoebic creature must have reached Tom's skin.
01:15:34And it's growing, literally eating his tissues.
01:15:37Can you save him?
01:15:39Now we know what we're fighting.
01:15:40At least we have a chance.
01:15:42Dr. Gordon.
01:15:54Dr. Gordon.
01:15:58All right.
01:16:03Call me immediately if there's any change.
01:16:28Yes, Tom.
01:16:36Dr. Gordon tells me it has resisted everything we've tried.
01:16:40We have slowed down its growth, but that's all.
01:16:42You know more about this creature than anyone.
01:16:45We thought that...
01:16:45General Trieger, there is a biological laboratory here, isn't there?
01:16:49Yes, of course.
01:17:15Dr. Gordon, I think we've found the solution.
01:17:37What can we do?
01:17:39I'll show you.
01:17:44Electricity.
01:17:45We have already thought of that, Dr. Ryan.
01:17:48But any kind of electric shock strong enough to kill the amoeba will also kill Tom.
01:17:52I know.
01:17:53Then how?
01:17:54We've been attacking the alien amoeba as if it were a disease, but it isn't.
01:17:57It's an animal.
01:17:58An animal with instincts.
01:18:00And most important of all, a will to act.
01:18:02It only makes it harder to destroy.
01:18:04And gives it a vulnerability we also have.
01:18:07That of making a wrong choice.
01:18:09Look.
01:18:10We had two identical tissue cultures there.
01:18:12Both infested with our own microscopic amoeba and placed very close to each other.
01:18:16One we left alone.
01:18:18The other we subjected to light, periodic electric shocks.
01:18:21Before long, all the amoeba on the irritated culture had made their choice.
01:18:26They moved to the nearby, undisturbed culture.
01:18:28Then that is what we have to do.
01:18:31We will prepare a large tissue culture and place it next to the infected arm.
01:18:36Then subject Tom to electric shocks, just short of being harmful to him.
01:18:39Tom, Iris, I have something I want you to hear.
01:19:08You were right.
01:19:09The whole speech was on the recorder.
01:19:11The last tape.
01:19:13I think you should listen to it.
01:19:14Sounds important.
01:19:15Judge for yourself.
01:19:17Mr. Weiner.
01:19:20Men of Earth, we of the planet Mars give you this warning.
01:19:25Listen carefully and remember.
01:19:27We have known your planet Earth since the first creature called out of the primeval slime of your seas to become man.
01:19:34For millennia, we have followed your progress.
01:19:38For centuries, we have watched you, listened to your radio signals, and learned your speech and your culture.
01:19:44And now, you have invaded our home.
01:19:48Technological adults, but spiritual and emotional infants.
01:19:53We kept you here, deciding your fate.
01:19:56Had the low-out forms of life of our planet destroyed you, we would not have interfered.
01:20:00But you survived.
01:20:03Your civilization has not progressed beyond destruction, war, and violence against yourselves and others.
01:20:10Do as you will to your own and to your planet.
01:20:13But remember this warning.
01:20:15Do not return to Mars.
01:20:18You will be permitted to leave for this sole purpose.
01:20:21Carry the warning to Earth.
01:20:24Do not come here.
01:20:25We can and will destroy you, all life on your planet, if you do not hate us.
01:20:32You have seen us, been permitted to glimpse our world.
01:20:36Go now.
01:20:37Warn mankind not to return unbidden.
01:20:40Good night.
01:20:52Good night.
