Description
The 27th day (1947, b & w, 76 min.): Five ordinary humans are given a box by aliens containing capsules capable of killing millions of people. If they can refrain from using the capsules for 27 days, the Earth will be spared. Will they be able to stand firm, especially when word leaks out and a panicked and furious population starts to hunt them down?
Description
The night the world exploded (1957, b & w, 64 min.): Dr. Conway develops a device for predicting earthquakes and immediately discovers one is about to occur in California. He can not persuade the Governor to act, so he begins testing underground where he discovers an unknown element causing the quakes that will destroy the planet if it reaches the surface.
Description
The H-man (1958, color, 79 min.): The Tokyo sewer system is an oozing mess after a radioactive liquid turns people into slimy blobs that float down the drains following a rainstorm. To add to the havoc, the gelatinous masses then begin to reproduce. The blobs are ultimately destroyed in a fire that lights up the city.
Description
12 to the moon (1959, b & w, 75 min.): A group of twelve international scientists are the first to land on the moon. In their exploration of the surface, they run into all kinds of trouble, including threatening messages from alien life forms residing on the moon.
Description
Battle in outer space (1960, color, 91 min.): A series of mysterious catastrophes sweep the globe, causing the world's scientists to conclude that beings from another planet are attacking earth. Two earth space ships damage the attackers, giving the world time to prepare for a gigantic battle in outer space.
Description
Valley of the dragons (1961, b & w, 83 min.): Based very loosely on a story by Jules Verne, two men, about to undertake a duel, are thrust into an alternate universe. Finding themselves the only "civilized" men in a world of cavemen and savage beasts, the two realize they'll have to put aside their differences to help each other survive in this strange new world.
