  • Travel into the future to March, 1980. Astronauts crash-land on an asteroid and are shrunk to a mere six inches tall! They are held captive by a race of miniature people who are under attack by a mysterious legion of aliens, led by Richard Kiel ("The Spy Who Loved Me's" Jaws). Meanwhile, a rescue ship from Earth is being organized to save the captured astronauts. Can they survive the ruthless alien onslaught. A fun sci-fi drive-in extravaganza, complete with hideous aliens, rocketships, spacemen and out-of-this-world excitement!
