This Island Earth

After this film was unfairly skewered by "Mystery Science Theater 3000" we want to set the record straight and give this gorgeously produced movie it's due. Large in scale and lush in production, it is meant to be seen on the big screen. Dr. Cal Meacham (Rex Reason) discovers that his research into the transmutation of elements has attracted the attention of a strange group of scientists that possess advanced technology. He joins up with them to help fulfill their promise of world peace, but soon discovers their alien nature and ulterior motives. Soon they are embroiled in an interplanetary war and must struggle to survive and hopefully, return to Earth.
