20 Million Miles to Earth

A manned space flight from Venus crash lands in the Mediterranean, losing its most precious cargo: reptilian eggs from the planet's surface. They come into the possession of an Italian zoologist (Frank Puglia), who watches as one hatches to reveal a rapidly-growing monster. His American granddaughter, Marisa (Joan Taylor), and returned astronaut Calder (William Hopper) must battle with the American and Italian military to corral the creature before it destroys everything in its path.

Critic Reviews:

• " A very effective monster film of the golden age of B cinema, and Harryhausen is still the king. " – Felix Vasquez Jr.

• " Aside from over-interpreting the monster movie's politics, there's no denying that the true star of 20 Million Miles to Earth is clearly animator Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion monster. " – Jason Morgan

• " Nathan Juran's film differs from most sci-fi monster movies of the period in that the monster shows up early and often. " – Jeffrey M. Anderson
