Hugh Marlowe as Dr. Russell Marvin is the pivot man as aliens try to contact him as the mediator for a surrender plan between Earth and some evil aliens. Many of us growing up in the sixties and seventies will recognize "Jim Matthews: Another World Soap Opera" as Marlowe. He is an intelligent man that figures out a way to counter the ability of flying saucers to overcome the effect of gravity by use of magnetic poles. It is however the scenes of the saucers flying around that makes this film worthwhile to watch. The effects were excellent considering the year of 1956. The only weak spot of this film concerned a forest fire and Marvin, his wife and guard running in the forest and never feeling any heat and running in place as the scenery just rolled by, this was very cheesie. Overall, a good 1950's science fiction film.
