A fleet of Martian spacecraft surrounds the world's major cities and all of humanity waits to see if the extraterrestrial visitors have, as they claim, "come in peace." U.S. President James Dale receives assurance from science professor Donald Kessler that the Martians' mission is a friendly one. But when a peaceful exchange ends in the total annihilation of the U.S. Congress, military men call for a full-scale nuclear retaliation.
Chaos erupts through a neon-soaked lens of retro-futuristic absurdity and manic energy. This biting satire trades traditional sci-fi tension for a colorful, campy spectacle where the universe feels both ridiculous and terrifying.
