20 Million Miles to Earth
Space nightmares!
Directed by Nathan Juran
Produced by Morningside Productions, Columbia Pictures
A 1950s creature-feature that blends Cold War space-age wonder with monster-movie thrills, anchored by stop-motion spectacle and Italian locale charm.
When the first manned flight to Venus returns to Earth, the rocket crash-lands in the Mediterranean near a small Italian fishing village. The locals manage to save one of the astronauts Colonel Calder, the mission commander. A young boy also recovers what turns out to be a specimen of an alien creature. Growing at a fantastic rate, it manages to escape and eventually threatens the city of Rome.
