Zombies of the Stratosphere



This is not a movie. Zombies of the Stratosphere is a 12-chapter serial produced in 1952. There are no zombies, and it doesn't have anything to do with the stratosphere. The premise is an invasion from Mars, because Mars is dying and needs to swap orbits with Earth for warmth. They plan to steal our nuclear bomb technology to make it happen. Larry Martin, a leader in the Inter-Planetary Patrol, must stop them!  Zombies of the Stratosphere is most notable for the appearance of 21-year-old Leonard Nimoy, who plays one of the Martians. (Thanks, WTM!)
