To the people of this country.

The roar you hear is the sound of hope.

The sound of Rhodes Enterprises.

Experimental aircraft 109.

The sound of its crucial maiden flight.

A flight piloted by Fred Norwood, one
of our most capable test pilots.

A flight that could signal the beginning.

Of a billion dollar air force contract.

In fact, the air force insignia is
already on the plane.

In confident anticipation
of air force approval.

Oh, ladies and gentlemen Mr. Rhodes.
Please a few questions.

I'm sorry, I'm late now.

Sorry, sir.

That was Victor Rhodes,
ladies and gentlemen.

President of Rhodes Enterprises.

The man who spent $250 million

developing the X109.

Had a last minute call
from the Board of Directors.

How's Norwood doing?

Still to reach the initial
test of altitude.

Chase One, you with him?

Chase One. Roger, I see him.

Hey, something moving around
to the north of here.

I saw it, too. Looked like
an aircraft to me.

Could be some civilian off course.

Go have a look, Chase One.

Roger!

Norwich to Chase One.

Have you spotted anything?

Come in, Chase One.

Holy Moises!
What was that?

Flycom, Flycom, I got a bogey here.

Hey, here it comes again.

Unidentified craft buzzing 109.

Repeat, Unidentified craft buzzing 109.

You! What's he doing?

That's not on the flight plan.

Norwich, this is Tim.
Why aren't you communicating?

Look at those turns!

What's he doing?

Fred, what's got into you?

109, report!

Not answering, sir.

Well, keep after him.

109 this is earphone.

Got a bogey here.
Repeat, bogey.

Chasing me all over the sky.

Cannot identify it. Cannot chase it.

Look at that.
Mark 2 now!

Norwich, come in.

He's diving!

Fred, this is Rhodes.

Bring that plane in, do you hear me?

Throttle down and bring it in.
Over.

Where in the hell did it go?

He tested every ship I've designed.

Fred is a reliable pilot.

Look at the quotes here.
Blood pressure,

respiration, skin temperature.

That's a profile of a man losing his head.

Vick, Vick, you approved him, remember?

For the same reason I did, his records.

Records don't mean a thing,
Tim, when a man panics.

Blanchard.
Where's Norwood?

He's uh... he's coming, sir.

You were up there,
what happened?

I'm afraid I can't help you, sir.
I was looking the other way.

What?

Well, I was checking out
that flashing light we saw.

Oh, that you mean the aircraft off course.

No sir, it turned
out to be sunlight

letting off of cold
air layer, or...

temperature inversion.

Just our luck you had
to be chasing a mirage.

Sir, it gave the impression
of a flying object.

Yes, yes.

Mr. Norwood,

what the devil were
you doing up there?

I was dodging that bogey.

Bogey?
What bogey?

The UFO, the flying saucer.

Flying saucer?

Well you heard me up there.

I had everything I could
do to avoid a collision.

A collision?

You mean with another aircraft?

I suppose you could call it an aircraft.
It would fly.

Disk-like maybe 40 feet in diameter.

Shiny, metallic.

Well if it was metal as you say,
it appeared on the radar.

Something that size would have to,
yes sir.

McDonald,
why haven't we heard about this?

Well, sir, all I saw was the 109.

And the chase plane.

Until I lost picture due to static.

Pete, it had to be there!

Norwood, I'm going to be honest with you.

Indications are you saw a mirage.

Sir, this was no mirage,
it was real.

It w-

I don't know what else to call it.
It was a flying saucer.

No mirage, real.

It was solid metal.
The sun glinting off it.

The sun glinted off it!
Now just a minute.

Blanchard.

Tell us what you told
us a few minutes ago.

Fred, that thing I chased,

that flash of light,

Weather people confirmed this now.

It's due to an inversion layer.

Now Blanchard,
tell him what you told us.

The sun glinting off the cold air.

Giving the impression of?

Oh, the impression of a flying object.

Damn it, I can tell illusion from-

-Can you, Norwood?

Maybe down here you can.

But up there, in an
untried aircraft,

in a condition
verging on hysteria.

That I doubt.

- On hysteria?
- Yes, hysteria.

Look for yourself.

Here it is.

Blood pressure soaring, pulse racing.

Evidence, Mr. Norwood.

And radar indicates that you
were there all... by... yourself.

Evidence, Mr. Norwood.

Suggesting that you
risked destroying

the 109 to avoid
collision with a mirage.

It may not be the first time
it's happened to a pilot nor the last.

Bur Mr. Norwood,

it's the last time
for you in the 109.

Tim, we're expected in the board room.

I'll be there.

Buddy,

See you around.

Dinner will be ready in 20 minutes.

Is one of those for me?

Madam.

How is he?

Here you are Freddy my boy.

A Vetry special 9:1.

Well, cheers everybody.

Done over the art arm
first one today and all that.

Fred?

What?

The Martini, dear brother, what else?

Look, Fred, if it's just the job.

No it isn't, Joe.

You understand.

It's pride.

I'm the hot test pilot who
panics and has hallucinations.

Nobody believes that.

Yes, they do.

You're my best friend, and...

you're my sister and I can see on
your faces you don't believe me.

Now, if you two don't believe me,
who's gonna believe me?

Whether we believe you or not,
we're still on your side.

I know that, Joe.

And I'm gonna take advantage of that.

So take advantage!

Of anything you say.

I saw that laser radar you have.

I'd like to have it.

Along with two operators.

I'll pay 'em.
I've got 18 thousand bucks at the bank.

Wait, wait wait, you just lost me.

Well, somehow that saucer...

blacks out normal radio
and radar communication.

Something like...

the ionosphere blackout our
astronauts go through.

You tell me that you think

this saucer has set up

an ionized cloud around itself?

That's what I figured.

But your laser radar ought to

penetrate it. Give
us a normal blip.

Now, there's a spot on
that desert in Nevada.

That there's practically no air traffic.

Now any blip that does show
up should be unusual.

I want to get myself
a fast job, like a B-51

I'm going to model with cameras.

Anything that's moving upstairs

I'll go up and take a look.

Do you want to try and
photograph a flying saucer,

is that it?

That's it.

Does the bed break?
That's Dorthy, Milfred.

How do you do?
How do you do?

Very close in here, isn't it?

That's not too bad.

I've forgotten how crowded
these things were.

How was your flight?

Fine, wonderful.
Good. Good.

Well?

What's it all about?

It's Norwood, Mr. Vetry.

He's so groggy
he's seeing things.

He tried to land on 70 feet
of air the other day.

So we figured
we better call you.

The thing is, all of
us work in shifts.

Fred...

he ain't slept more than two,

maybe three hours at a time,
the whole month.

He just keeps going up there,
checking everything on the scope.

And today, for instance.

A flight of geese,

Weather balloon,

A couple of false radar returns,

He's gone up, uh,...

six times so far and
it's only sundown.

You mean to tell me how good?

You can't tell the
difference between

a flight of geese
and an aircraft.

On that scope?

Sure I can.
He goes up anyway.

"Wanna see for myself", he says.

And zoom!
He's off again.

Clumsy ox!

At least we know he is really asleep.

Yeah.

Come in!

Mr. Vetry.

We have a blip on the scope.

Looks phony but I figured I ought
to tell you about it anyway.

You know?

Yeah. Are you sure it's a bad return?

Well, we all looked over pretty careful.

I wouldn't look for it, but...

he'll raise a devil if he
found out he missed one.

Yeah.

Ok, Pete, thanks.

I'd uh... I'd better go
up there take a look.

What?

Fly up there?

Why?

OK, I flew Mustangs all over Korea,
remember?

Is it really necessary?

Yeah. I'd better go.

It won't kill me, you know.

Why didn't you wake me?

Mr. Vetry didn't want us to.

We got something here, Fred.

See, first it's here, then way over here

and nothing flies like that.

Hey, remote.

I see it!

Light.
A flashing red light.

Hard to make out.

It's like a headlight of a

car coming at you at night.

But it's big!

Big and round!

I'm going after it.

Joe, we read you.

Come in, Over.

Look, I've got two blips.

Bogey closing in.

Ha! Tell ol' Freddy I got him a live one.

Tell him...

Something's jammed his radio.

Look, it's buzzing 'im.

Like it did me.

Joe, dive!

Get away from it!

Joe, dive!

Dive!

Joe!

Are you Norwood?

I didn't expect you so soon.

I'm Tom Orvel for Federal aviation Agency.

My partner, Dick Carey.

We found this.
It has your name on it.

It's part of my helmet.

Joe was wearing it.

We haven't found the body yet. But...

I'm beginning to think it just
disintegrated like the plane.

Disintegrated?

That's right.

I've been investigating
crashes for six years,

but I have never seen
anything like this.

Vetry's plane literally
came apart in midair like...

disassembled piece by piece.

What was he doing up there, anyway?

He was chasing a UFO.

You mean this UFO is
responsible for Vetry's death?

I was responsible.

Well, Mr. Peterson's expecting
you, captain. Go right in.

The president's scientific advisory
board is handling that in.

Well, build a firearm.

I want action and I mean fast.

Get back to me.

Mr. Peters, Fred Norwood.

Please sit down.

Thank you, Captain.

And give my regards to your CO.

I'll Sir.

While flight testing the X-109,

You were buzzed by a UFO.

Or to be more accurate...

you claimed you were.

That's right.

Your flight control people

said it was a mirage, right?

You seem to have all the facts there.

Was it a, uh, mirage, Mr. Norwood?

No.

Would you take a look at this, please?

Did your UFO look anything like that?

Very much so, yes, sir.

Thank you.

Mary, see if we can get the
secretary on the scrambler.

May I ask you who drew this?

A peasant.

Who lives in a remote border
village of Red China.

Mrs, Secretary, Norwood just
authenticated our Chinese sketch.

Yes.

I think this doubles the urgency.

Yes Sir.

Give me Major Lee.

Did you say.

Red China?

Yes,

The peasant claimed
that that sketch...

is the likeness of a "Thing".

Hidden in the ruined
church near his village.

How did it get there?

Presumably it landed there.

The ruin was roofless.

Landed?

By whom?

The bodies of two, uh...

creatures.

Were found nearby.

Human like, and yet different.

The peasant's description
wasn't too intelligent.

But we assumed they died

because they lacked immunity
to earth's bacteria.

But they must have
been oxygen breathers.

Or they wouldn't have
ventured from the ship.

That's purely conjecture, of course.

The remains?

The bodies decayed
very rapidly and

the peasants cremated
what was left.

Major Laiton, how are you doing with
the ordinance and survival gear?

Next week my foot!
We fly off tomorrow.

Well try the marine corp,
they'll give you fast action.

You're sending in a team to investigate?

Investigate and destroy.

Now Sam Archibald,

our agent in China,

They'd get all of the second half.

And it could be a hoax.

But if it is there,

that thing could be so
scientifically advanced,

that to make our technology obsolete.

And if the Red Chinese
get their hands on it.

The free world!

Is obsolete.

All this is top secret, isn't it?

Obviously.

And yet you told me much
more than I need to know.

Why?

Well, that's obvious, too.

You want me to go along?

You're not expecting me to fly?

No, no, no, but you'll build a career.

Orienting yourself to strange aircraft.

You might get some faint
notion as to how it operates.

Will you go?

Hurry up and wait.

They won't be much longer, do you think?

I don't know, Dave but
griping about it won't help.

Ah! You forget.

I'm an American Citizen now.

And griping is one of our most

cherished constitutional
privileges.

Yes, sir.

You may go in now.

Fred, I'd like to have you
meet my two favorite geniuses:

Jack Garson.

Electronics wizard.

And Dave Ethrom, master metallurgist.

Gentlemen, Fred Norwood.

The test pilot I told you about.

He's just agreed to go with us.

Almost on the target.

Sleepy, Jack?
Or just bored?

Trying to pop my ears.
What?

I'm just trying to pop my ears!

Oh!

Hey, Dave?

You ever jump before?

Me neither.

I just hope I don't
freeze in the door.

Rest easy, old boy.

If that happens, the jump master

chap will give you a shot.

Thanks a lot, buddy.

Time to put the hook up!

I'm gonna remind
you men one again...

To bear your shoes and helmets...

thoroughly.

That means that there
is not one inch shown.

Group on me.

Don't leave any friends in the soft dirt.

There may be red Chinese

patrolling down there.

And remember...

These 45s are the last resort.

One shot is going to
track a thousand commys.

Whatever you do...

Don't shoot our guys.

Any questions?

Yeah.

How the devil did
I get into this mess?

Because you're the
most expendable

electronics genius available, old boy.

Stand by!

Go!

Whoa.

Easy does it.

You must be Norwood.

Yes, that's right.

I'm Sam Archibald.

Welcome to China.

You alright?

I think so.

Good.

Got all the boxes?

The other two men are down safe.

Fill us in, Sam.

Well, our objective is
about 75 miles due west.

They've got a Catholic church.

Guided by the Reds?

Yes, about 5 years ago

when they murdered the priest.

The peasants hate the Commies for it.

So when they found a saucer in the church.

The village leader got word to me.

And he drew the sketch from memory?

Yes.

So you haven't seen the saucer?

But I believe the man.

Sam...

What is the strength of the Red
Chinese army in this district?

Four companies at Changsha.

And the territory between here and
our objective is heavily patrolled.

Are they likely to find the saucer?

Normally, a commy shuns a Catholic church.

Besides, they don't even
know the saucer exists.

Well, you two apparently
survived your maiden leap.

Oh, no sweat.
Piece of cake.

(Speaking in chinese)

Jack Dawson, Dave Ephrom

our man in China, Sam Archibald.

Oh.

Red soldiers.

Maybe they saw
our parachutes last night.

I don't think their after us,
Brad, they got a prisoner.

Probably the peasants who
resist the Chinese regime.

Poor guy.
Blue team patrol.

Yeah...

It's too close for comfort.

It's going to be a long, hard journey.

Alright!
Take a rest, everybody.

How much further, Sam?

Well...

We're about here.

The church is about 20 miles here.

There's a village in the middle.

That might quarter red soldiers

so we better bypass it.

What's going on?

I want him to fill the canteens.

But he sad he's got a sore foot.

I'll get another man.
Don't bother.

Give them all a break.
I'll take them.

Stream's right down that direction.

Hey! Wait a minute!

Please, I won't hurt you.

(Speaking Russian)

(Speaking Russian)

(Speaking Russian)

Red soldiers?
No, Russians

Russians! One of them said "niet".

Russians.

Of course.

I know one thing.

Any more shooting will
attract the Chinese soldiers.

If it hasn't already.

I tried to stop Ephrom, but

we can't stake him down here.

Maybe we aught to pull out.

It wouldn't help.

They'll run us down easily,
unless we abandon our equipment.

Sam, go back and see if we
have any quarters left.

Ok.

Hey, What's that?

Americans!

Americans!
Don't shoot!

We wish to parley with you.

Ok, lady.

Go ahead and parley.

Our leader tells me
to inform you...

Tell your leader to
get out of here at 2,

or this parlay is
finished right now.

What are you Americans doing here?

If you are followed by
our friends and allies,

the soldiers of
Chinese Socialist Republic,

You will be shot.

We urge you to go back
where you come from.

And we will not inform our

allies that you were here.

I uh

shall take your, shall
we say ultimatum

under advisory.

But I must confirm with my comrades.

Fred!

I recognize one of their guys
from the pictures in our files.

Zagorsky.

Top metallurgist.

Your gun!

I had to break the boarders up,

or they would have run away.

They're scared.

Maybe they're
trying to bluff us.

Let's find out, hum?

Uh, tell your boss...

Comrade.

Tell your boss we know you're here
on the same mission that we are.

We know you entered the
country without permission.

And that you're just as afraid
of the Chinese Reds as we are.

If not,

Why are you escorted by peasants

instead of Chinese soldiers?

You are very foolish!

The Chinese are our allies.

And they will exterminate you.

We give you last
chance to get away.

You must go back
where you come from.

Otherwise, we must

notify our Chinese allies,

of your presence here.

Ask him why he doesn't
notify his Chinese allies

right now?

Now then,

shall we forget this
ultimatum nonsense?

As much as we both
like to shoot each other,

we can't afford the racket.

So...

Where do we go from here?

This is a good place
for a breather.

Alright!

We stop here for a while.

I...uh...

I did some research at
Stanford, you know,

metallurgy, of course.

Oh...

Was professor Wilhous
still teaching there?

Yes indeed he was.

He was a great professor.

Zagorsky?

(Speaking Russian)

What did he say?

Well...

he wants to

to discuss something with me.

Excuse me.

Delightful, fella, really.

All charm.

I'd love to break up this
little shotgun union.

Hey!
There's a man with a good idea.

Yes,

Dubovsky was going to take
a shot at us just now.

Well, none of us can do that.

Well, uh,

how about we strangle each
other with our bear hands?

The important thing is
to get to the saucer.

Without drawing a thousand
Chinese reds around our necks.

After that...

we play it by ear.

I wouldn't mind being
strangled by her.

She's a commy!

Where did you learn that word?

From my father.

He was on the last war.

Well, it wasn't really the last.

It was in one we fought together

he came with those
trucks we sent you.

Oh, oh!

Without your American trucks,

We would never have fallen Stalingrad.

Thank you.

I bet you have a great IQ.

IQ? What's that?

Brain.

Intelligence.

Oh.

An unusual compliment.

Well, I wouldn't dare
make a usual one.

Though I must say what I saw
underneath the waterfall

compares favorably with...

it'll be sufficient.

See? I told you I could
make a usual one.

What?

What are you doing when
you're not taking a shower?

I am an electronics expert.

My specialty is Superretrobeam
feedback determinations.

Good for you.

Oh, I know that you Americans

resent women being scientists.

In your bourgeois society.

We're nothing but Haus Fraus.

There is true sexual
equality in the Soviet Union.

Women are not
different from men.

Oh, my, that's too bad.

Soviet women may
even be soldiers.

Well, now you wouldn't
happen to be armed now

would you, Sargent Karachev?

Are you not going to search me?

Say...

Are you sure Soviet women
are no different then men?

That building!

The peasants made that roof
to hide it from the air.

I'll stay here with the quarters.

They're afraid to go in.

Mr. Peters.

You are in command here.

That's right.

So let's not take any
more pictures, shall we?

Comrade Dubovsky proposes

that we agree to share

this great discovery

and work together as a

scientific team to exploit it.

You wanna work with us?

- As a team, huh?
- That's right.

Comrade Dubovsky says that

later we may announce our

discoveries to the world, together.

Now, just a minute.

You tell him I'm concerned about guns,

not communicators.

We carry arms only to defend
ourselves against aggression.

Of course.
We know that.

But still, I don't like to see people
working with guns stuck to their hips.

So you tell your boss...

If he's willing for us
to inspect his arsenal,

he can inspect ours and
then we can come to

some sort of understanding.

Not inspection.

Mr. Peters,

It was I who proposed
we worked as a team.

And I can assure you

I have no intention of
working with gun in a hip.

Nor I, for that matter.

What use has come to scientists.

We will put our guns away.

You put your guns away.

But only each team
leader be armed.

Then we can work as team.

If only you'll trust us.

I trust you.

Hank.

We ain't got much
choice in the matter...

Comrade Dubovsky is also
willing to trust you.

Well, I don't trust him.

I want everybody to know this.

So.

Let's get to work.

Morning, Sam.
Morning.

I have lookout at
strategic places.

We'll keep a night
and day watch.

Let me give you a hand, Fred.

I was there just talking to Sam.

We've got guided
forces all around.

Should be alright.

Now wait a minute

I will take a look
up there and see...

It's heavy now.

I wanna take it up there...

Hold it.

Pretty close.

You think they got
inside this thing yet?

Look, the entire exterior
surface is completely unbroken.

Not a sign of a door, a port, nothing.

How do they look out to
see where they're going?

There has to be a way
to get in this thing.

Here! Maybe using this.

Here!
Feel this.

Here is warm.

Here it's cool.

The same.
Let's trace it.

Did you find anything?

Could be, we don't know yet.

If this is door,

it's the most perfect
fit I have ever seen.

If there's a door,

how do you think it opens?

Could be like one of those

electric garage doors

on some sort of signal.

Says Jack, where is he?

He's working on some equations.

I'll go get him.

Jack, you're needed.

I heard noise, inside.

No, that's not inside.

That's jack's electric razor.

No, no, she is right.

Inside.

I hear the noise now, too.

Well, fellas, what can I do for ya?

What the.....

Why did it stop?

Never mind what made it stop.

Why don't we find what made it open?

Jack, give me your razor.

- What for?
- Just give it to me.

This is crazy.

No it isn't.

We just have to hit
the right frequency,

What can you see, Fred?

Not very much.
It's dark.

There's like a tube going up.

And kind of a ladder.

Here.

We can... we can climb up on this.

Well,

Who wants to climb up inside?

(Speaking Russian)

Comrade Dubovsky feel

there should be both a

Russian and an American

to be forced to enter.

Now let's not start a
lot of damn protocol.

Comrade Dubovsky insists that

such procedures are part
of our agreement.

All right, all right.

You and Fred go in together, then.

You got the razor, Fred?

Right.

Easy there.

Hey!

When did he close the door?

I didn't hear the razor.

They didn't close it.

But then what did?

Who?

Looks like solid metal
from the outside.

From in here, it's transparent.

It must be some kind of plastic!

He can't see us,
but we can see him.

Pretty good visibility.

All sides...

Where are the gravity couches?

How would they strap in?

Obviously, they do not.

There can be only
one explanation.

Because no amount of strapping down

could come back intense speed

and quick directional changes

you have described.

And the power!

This craft must...

generate its own inner
gravitational field.

That contracts and equalizes

all G-forces.

Like the turn on the air.

It's like a draft.

I think it is life support system.

Not unlike those over at Cosmonauts.

I noticed it began the moment we entered.

It must be automatically activated by...

the carbon dioxide we exhale.

Converting the CO2 into Ozone,

or some other oxygen based gas.

You might be right.

When I was in Washington,

they said they probably
were oxygen breathers.

That's why they came on the ship.

Shall we get the others?

Right.

The door is closed.

I've to send
this back to the factory.

Shut it off!

What?

How do you control
level of razor?

We probably activated
gravitational field.

If we cannot adjust it properly,

We will be squished.

Like bugs!

It's creating magnetic force.

Does it look like a panel?

That might control
the gravitational field?

I don't know! I don't know.

Don't say that,
we gotta take a chance.

It had better be a calculated risk.

This could be a relay.

The kind that opens and
closes electric circuits.

I can hardly stand up!

What is that button?

Of that I am not sure.

I'm only saying it looks a little like it.

Come on, try.

A shot in the dark.

We were lucky.

We ought to find out.

What regulates

the gravitational field.

There must be...

There must be similar circuit

to open

door and floor.

Multiply

would it not be

located somewhere

that you could reach here

while standing near door.

What'd you know?

It's a simple electric eye.

How come we didn't see it before?

Are you alright?

Got any antibiotics in vitro?

Yeah, yeah,
in my first-aid kit, why?

A sick Chinese baby.

None of us would know what to do.
We're not doctors...

Karachev will do it.

There is infection in his throat.

He's coughing.

Don't you think you better
read the instructions?

I don't think that will be necessary.

Lean over, please.

Look at him now!

He's wonderful.

Sam!

Tell her to bring
baby back immediately

if he seems worse.

Don't tell me along
will all your...

other talents you're a doctor, too?

Oh, no. No.

I wanted to study medicine.

But the year I started school

the quota was unfilled

for electronics majors

so.

The commissar of education

decided otherwise.

You just did what they told you?

Of course.

The State must decide these things.

Just like that, huh?

You got angry with me?

You think he's going to shoot me?

Comrade Dubovsky says there
will be no fraternization.

Oh, yeah?

What do you say?

Conrad Dubovsky is in charge of our nation.

Germany!
Sputnik!

Have you figured it out yet?-huh?

Have you figured it all out?

Oh, oh, sure, it's very simple.

One thing seems certain.

This craft is repelled

on concocted

by universal lines of magnetic force.

That's simple, isn't it?

Oh, yes, it is very, very simple.

The only problem is, so am I.

Well, fred, what Anna
means is for example,

If it wants to go up,

It fastens on to the
magnetic attraction of...

say, the sun.

If the sun is at its Zenith or

any other star that is in

that position of the heavens

at that time of the day.

Now to go down it

just utilizes the earth's magnetism.
That's all.

What about horizontal flight?

Then it just beams on
the magnetic attraction of....

any star or planet that's

on or near the horizon.

Believe me, there are billions

of possible anti magnetism.

Then why wouldn't it pull this

ship from every
direction at once?

Oh, that is secret over circuitry.

These controls

properly adjusted, block out

all magnetic attractions

except if one pilot wishes to utilize.

And this craft is aimed by magnetism

and that's all.

All?

If we could utilize this principle,

we could exploit literally

limitless fields of energy.

We could irrigate deserts.

Desalt oceans,

increase production of food,

of everything, one-hundred fold.

We could also manufacture

one hell of a super weapon.

What would the world want with weapons

if every country was rich and prosperous?

True, Dave.

What do you say we
break for chow, huh?

- Chow?
- Chow.

Chow is dog.

May I proceed you, madam?

If you want to eat a dog for

lunch, then be my guest.

Oh, that's funny.

There we are.

What happened?

Oh I tripped and Chet
tried to save me.

Oh, no. I just tripped
over my own feet.

It's broken.

Christ.

Hey!

Sounds like

someone.

Or something is trying to fly it.

What the devil's going on here?

What? What he say?

That someone is trying to fly it.

I knew we should trust

you! Get out of there!

Take it easy.

What's the matter with you?

His teeth hurt.
He has steel cups.

Andre!

Andre!

Come on. They don't want
us at a time like this.

You go ahead, Dave.

I'll be along a little while.

Will you pray for him with me?

I'm not such a perfect martyr.

Why do you think he did it?

I do not know.

But I think he would
not have done it...

unless Comrade Dubovsky ordered him.

You have no pilot.

I've got a flight engineer
with a broken wrist.

Why don't you and I work together?

I would have to ask permission.

From Comrade Dubovsky.

No.

You forget we're not here to
share knowledge with them.

Forgiving them or not.

Impossible.

A monopoly that would make our
military opposition invincible.

Now why can't you attempt
to take off with Jack?

Hank, believe me those controls are

too much for a one-handed man

I could kill us all.

You saw what happened to Gadyakoff.

He's right.
I believe he

had his hands so full.

That he couldn't monitor the

inner gravitational field

and it built up and crushed him.

Dave could handle that.

I'm the foggiest old boy.

I'm a metallurgist, remember?

You have no choice.

You've got to go with the girl.

Mr. Peters.

Yes?

Comrade Dubovsky
accepts proposal

made by Comrade
Norwood last night.

That Anna and he

been blipped off together.

Sure! Without a pilot
he's got no alternative.

Neither do we.

Hank, if they're willing,
why shouldn't we be?

Alright!

Let's get on with it.

(Speaking in Russian)

Good luck, Fred.

And don't try any more
than just a short liftoff.

I wasn't planning any acrobatics.

Wow! Hey!

Oh, Fred... Fred.

Come on, take it easy.

Now that we are united

in this Russian-American project,

Guns are not

longer necessary.

Something wrong, Sam?

Red patrols in the area have
been very heavy this morning.

More so than usual?

Yes.

They've become aware of a kind of

suppressed excitement
in the village.

Their suspicions are aroused.

Could they have heard the
sound of the saucer?

Well, my guards would
have heard it, too.

We better get back out.

He's good, no?

(Speaking in Chinese)

You specialists and your
high exorbitant prices.

This is beautiful place.

You're a beautiful person.

Zagorsky has translated your

trusted leader's intentions.

He says, Fred, that you and Anna...

will fly the saucer to
Moscow or he'll kill us all.

Tell him he's crazy.

Antoine.

Your scientific
comrade has explained

the unbearable
distress him greatly.

Anna!

Go on over to him.

- He'll kill you.
- No he will not.

I ought to shoot Petry's head off.

What's he saying?

That you tricked him
by hiding pistol.

Oh, my God, that's

wonderful coming from you.

Tell him to protest
to the United Nations.

Now move.

He wants to know if you
are going to kill us.

You're not getting your
information back to Moscow,

that's for sure.

How do you mean that, Hank?

We do what we have to do.

We take 'em out as prisoners.

Would affect them practical?

My god, hank, you're beginning
to sound like Dubovsky.

If you mean because he's loyal to
his side and I'm loyal to mine

I mean you keep wanting
to blow each other up.

Fred, whose side are you on?

On the side of survival.

Who's to gain if we exterminate each other?

I'll tell you who's to gain.

The Red Chinese, that's who.

Your little war has attracted a Red Patrol.

Keep an eye on that, wild man.

Looks like they're just reconnoitering.

I suspect he's radioing for reinforcement.

There's a whole company in the village.

How long will it take them to get here?

Not very long.
It's only a few miles.

- Keep an eye on them, Sam.
- Ok.

How many?

Only eight.

But it looks like they're
radioing for reinforcements.

He said you destroy saucer

to keep from Chinese.

Tell him to shut up and

stay in his own corner.

He's right.

- The problem in you two is...
- Dubovsky, just shut up.

He's one of the greatest
physicists of the world.

He just wants to help us.

We don't need him.

The hell we don't!

Hank, we all need each other.

You saw what just happened.

But Zagorsky and Anna had no part of it.

It's what I was about to say

problem

is that saucer is
practically indestructible.

I concur.

It would take extreme heat

something like a hydrogen explosion...

for instance, to... to melt that metal.

But this is the worst of the gear.

We can't just leave it to the Chinese Reds.

We are in complete accord on that.

Perhaps we do not have to leave it.

- What do you mean?
- Fly it.

Fly it...

Can you?

We had it off the ground before.

It's too intricate.

There are a thousand things in there.

I have this.

Chuck.

Please check my figures.

This is an analysis of
the workings of the

controls based on
mathematical probabilities.

Do you think my
calculations are correct?

We can't tell without
testing them, Anna, but...

Well then, get going.

The rest of us will see

you airborne and then
try to get out of here.

If we get airborne.

Oh, now look it isn't
that simple.

All of this has to be checked out.

I say it will take us about a
half hour to run through it.

Dave, give us a hand out there.

Anna, come on, I'll give
you all the help I can.

What's going on here?

He told her to fly to Moscow.

Fred,

you're going to fly to the nearest
American airbase, Formosa.

They're coming,
a whole company of them.

We got to get out
there and stop them.

For at least thirty minutes.

Hank!

Hank, Jack has to stay with the saucer.

- And so do you.
- That's my point.

You need Zagorsky and Dubovsky.

Eagle and inferno,
jointing forces to destroy dragon.

Prediction made by friend stargazer

who live 400 years ago.

Nostradamus.

They're against the Red Chinese

getting the saucer
as much as we are.

Keep down and don't fight
till I give the word.

Damn it, Dubovsky! I said to wait.

Ready to get in range.

Now!

Oh, yes, you're good at shot.

Ok, you're a bear cat on wheels.

Stalingrad!

And bunker hill to you, buddy.

On the next time,
don't fight until

you see the white in their eyes.

Waterloo!

That's I hope!

Remarkable, We got to stop them.

Yeah.

Only now they know our
position and strength.

It won't be so easy next time.

I've run out of grenades,

sir, can you spare any?

I've only got two.

But there more back at the church.

Oh, I'll go back and get some.

No.

Let me...

I'm a police officer.
Alright, but keep down.

He's hit!

All set.

Eight.

Eight-Six.

Four.

Zagorsky.

We stopped them, comrade.

Bomb. Grenades.

Grenades.

Damn it, Fred, what are you doing here?

You need these, don't you?
The hell with those!

What good are they if they
don't apply that thing now?

You're not expendable here.

Yeah, they're coming at us from
both the front and right flank.

It'll be hard stopping them, mister.

Hank,

we're set to
take off on your yell.

Then you fall back as fast
as you can and join us.

If we can.

Look that way.

Get going, but keep low.

Hey.

You and Sam crawl out
on the right plank.

If you can surprise them,

You might stop those guys.

We'll give it a go, old boy.

You're a jolly optimist.

Luck!

Cheers.

How much longer?
Not too long.

Right circuit's
eighty and twenty.

Listen.

Shooting stopped.

You're right.

Alright.
Lets get out of here.

Dave?

Everybody.

Come on.

Reset for horizontal flight.

- Ready Jack?
- Ready.

Now!

We've taken off like a rocket.

And straight up.

Level off, Fred.

Something we've done

has put us on automatic pilot.

The ship is running away with us.

Reset to hover.

- Ready?
- Ready.-Now.

Nothing.

It does not respond as before.

My God!

Just these few moments
we've torn free of Earth’s

gravity and traveled
thousands of miles.

Look!

The moon!

How could we have come so
far in such a short time?

The spaceship!

Is approaching speed of light!

Over 11,000,000 miles per minute.

The automatic pilot.

Still locked to a pre-set course.

Maybe drawn to some
magnetic attraction.

Mars, Jupiter, Uranus...

Maybe some distant star, many
light years beyond our solar system.

There is a whole bound of systems
here we know little about.

Thousands of them!

An infinite variety of combinations.

And only one should
reactivate manual control.

And of which all we can do is try
each one and that could take weeks.

If we are heading for stars

the nearest one, Alpha Centaur,

even on that speed, will take
us forty years to get there.

If we are heading for planet,

our solar system,

and it will crash into it very soon.

If it is an outer planet,

Pluto, Uranus, we still have a few hours.

But if it's Mars,

Our time's already up.

It's not Mars.

The Red Planet!

We'll bypass it by a million miles or so.

Anna.

I'm going to start
running through those

circuit combinations
by trial and error.

It would take too long!

Not if you can eliminate some of

the permutations mathematically.

If only we had computer.

- I will try.
- Good.

In the meantime,

I'll run as many
combinations as possible.

Jack.

Check the inner gravitational field.

Thank you.

Jack...

Saturn.

I've been observing it for
the past ten minutes.

We're in a dead collision course.

Not collision.

The waves of Saturn's
atmosphere are so immense...

that long before we hit anything solid...

this ship will be crushed and

compressed to the
size of a baseball.

Afraid our time's run out.

Anna.

It will collide?

Yes.

I have reduced
problem to four circuits.

Numbers 4, 16, 22 and 51

but they must be activated

in proper sequence.

But I do not know which sequence.

There are 24 different possibilities.

Let's try all of them.

They must work systematically.

Sequence one: open circuits

4, 16, 22, 51

In that order.

4...16... 22... 51

All circuits closed!

4...16....51... 22

4...51..22... 16

We'll never make it.

Keep going!

16... 22... 4... 51...

16... 22..51... 4...

We're back on manual.

My god, we've done it.

We'll be hinting the atmosphere
in just a few seconds.

I don't know how much heat
this craft will stand.

Better start decelerating.

On it.

Ready?

Ready.

Now.

Something dropped. We're losing power.

We should lose power, shouldn't we?

Not like this.

Recheck those circuits, quick!
Right.

We're burning up!

We have to decelerate.

Hit the power.

Feeling better?

Where are we?

In the Swiss Alps.

Fred and I were thinking We'd like
to try for landing in Geneva.

Both our countries
have embassies there...

and it can be put on record
that we did this together.

That is, if it's agreeable to you.
Yes, yes.

You know, when
the world sees this ship.

Everybody is going to
have to realize there

are other intelligent
beings in the universe.

And we'll have to meet
them face to face one day.

All the nations of this earth

better be ready to
stand together.

Amen.
