Setting down on Earth in a spherical UFO, Cosmic Man immediately becomes a military target even though scientists are sure destroying him could have disastrous consequences. A classic of 1950s B science fiction, COSMIC MAN is an entertaining parable about the dangers of nuclear energy that reflects some of America's feelings toward the impending nuclear age. [More]

  • His hypnotic eyes see all! An Atomic Age thriller, "The Cosmic Man" is about a strange spherical spaceship that arrives on Earth, bringing with it a benevolent alien being from beyond the stars--a being that exists in the negative world of shadows. Is he here to destroy the world or bring it peace? Humanity stands in the balance. A powerful and engaging sci-fi saga, inspired by "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Starring legendary horror star John Carradine as the dark, mysterious Cosmic Man, this is one of the great fifties drive-in theater classics that thrilled teenagers of the "Ozzie and Harriet" generations.

    Silly 50s sci-fi that used to be a Saturday TV staple. Okay for nostalgists
