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.

00:00:12Great scientific advances are oftentimes sudden accomplished facts before most of us are even
00:00:17dimly aware of them. Breathtakingly unexpected, for example, was the searing flash that
00:00:23announced the atomic age. Equally unexpected was the next gigantic stride, when man moved
00:00:30out of his very orbit to a point more than 20 million miles to Earth.

00:01:46Here.
00:01:48Gee, Janice.
00:01:49Many people hopes to catch a little fish.
00:01:53Now, in Texas, that's where one little wolf,
00:01:56she catches a bigger cow.
00:01:58The net, the net.
00:02:01Texas.
00:02:03Texas.
00:02:05What is that?
00:02:07Oh, Mandelo, you do not know of Texas.
00:02:10She's a big country across the sea, near America.
00:02:13That's where the cowboys...

00:14:13Dottor Leonardo !
00:14:19Come with me, please. Come now, come quickly.
00:14:21A great aircraft fell into the sea.
00:14:23It's a terrible tragedy, and the two men need you now.
00:14:26Slowly, slowly, my friend.
00:14:27Do I understand there has been an air crash, and men have been hurt?
00:14:31Si, si, and Dottor Borino, the only one we have is with Signora Martinello,
00:14:34who's about to have twins, triple, perhaps more.
00:14:36No.
00:14:36I'm afraid I won't be of any help.
00:14:38I'm a doctor in zoology, not medicine.
00:14:40But my granddaughter, it is possible, Marisa.
00:14:43Ah, Signorina.
00:14:44You are a doctor of people with hurts?
00:14:46Not yet, not for another year.
00:14:48Oh.
00:14:50I'll do the best I can.
00:14:51Ah.
00:14:53Ah, sta bene.
00:14:54Devi venire lΓ .
00:14:55Sì.
00:14:56Oh, essa la comete, perché già sei caduto lì dentro.
00:14:59Si calmi.
00:14:59Si calmi.
00:15:00SarΓ  il meglio che puΓ².
00:15:02Non si calmi.
00:15:03Mi faccia so.
00:15:03Si calma, sarΓ  meglio.
00:15:05Ah.
00:15:06Eccola.
00:15:06Andiamo subito, eh.
00:15:07Come this way.
00:15:10Be back as soon as I can, Grandpa.
00:15:12Va bene, va bene.
00:15:13Andiamo, dottore.
00:15:14Andiamo.
00:15:15Questo Γ¨ stato un grande accidente.
00:15:16E tu sta fermo.
00:15:17Fammi il favore quanto sei carino tu, biancino.
00:15:25Ah.
00:15:26Good afternoon, my young mercant friend.
00:15:28And what is it you wish to sell me today at an exorbitant rate, I'm certain?
00:15:33An inedible clan with which you are willing to part for very, very little money, I'm sure, eh?
00:15:41Dr. Lenortho, you are a kind of man.
00:15:44A just man.
00:15:46A man of much learning.
00:15:47A man of great wealth.
00:15:50A man of wealth?
00:15:51A professor of...
00:15:53Ah, of course, Pepe.
00:15:55Come on in, my Sicilian band, and we'll bargain, eh?
00:15:59Come on.
00:16:03Do you have a 200 liter?
00:16:05There's a possibility that I have such a fortune.
00:16:07Aye.
00:16:09Now, tell me.
00:16:11Let me see this great treasure of such great value.
00:16:14Come on.
00:16:14Where?
00:16:15You have a 200 liter with you?
00:16:17Uh-huh.
00:16:17In your purse?
00:16:18Yes.
00:16:20That is a true fact?
00:16:22Sure, that is a true fact.
00:16:23But now, tell me.
00:16:24Why is your need so great and so urgent?
00:16:27Because, with a 200 liter, I can have purchased a hat from Texas.
00:16:31Hmm?
00:16:32Please, may I have my money now?
00:16:35A hat from Texas?
00:16:37I don't understand you, Pepe.
00:16:39It is the hat the cowboys wear when they shoot the bandito.
00:16:43Bang! Bang!
00:16:43And the man, he is dead.
00:16:46Ah, those American movies.
00:16:48Yeah.
00:16:49With so great and neat, Pepe, you deserve the 200 liter.
00:16:52Cento e duecento.
00:16:53Now, let me see.
00:16:54What do you got?
00:16:55Huh?
00:16:56Hey.
00:17:00Come here.
00:17:01Hey!
00:17:02I better get my money's worth or I'm coming after you.
00:17:04Believe me.
00:17:08Now, what do you want to do?
00:17:25Be?
00:17:26Be.
00:17:27Bepe.
00:17:28Pepe.
00:17:29Pepe.
00:17:29Pepe.
00:17:30See it, Doctor?
00:17:30Please tell me.
00:17:31Where did you find that thing?
00:17:33In the water, Doctor.
00:17:34The door in the sea!
00:18:33The door in the sea!
00:18:35I know.
00:18:36You ought to know where you are.
00:18:39In Jera.
00:18:42Jera?
00:18:44A village in southern Sicily.
00:18:47Oh.
00:18:48That's where we figured.
00:18:50The others.
00:18:52How are they?
00:18:54As far as I know, your...
00:18:56your aircraft's at the bottom of the sea.
00:18:59Whoever else was on it.
00:19:01Oh, except for this man.
00:19:04This condition is critical.
00:19:07I'm sorry, but you're in no condition to get out of bed.
00:19:10Doctor.
00:19:11Dr. Sharman.
00:19:12I must ask you to leave this man alone.
00:19:14He's extremely ill.
00:19:15Please.
00:19:16Dr. Sharman.
00:19:17Will you leave this man alone and go back to your bed?
00:19:19Listen, nurse, I'm in no mood to argue with you.
00:19:21I'm not a nurse.
00:19:23I'm a doctor.
00:19:25You're almost a doctor, and this man may be dying.
00:19:28All right, almost a doctor.
00:19:30Do you know what's wrong with him?
00:19:33No, not exactly.
00:19:34Well, I do.
00:19:35And I know it's fatal.
00:19:37Eight of my crew have already died from it.
00:19:39Now, if you must stay here, stand still and be quiet.
00:19:41Please.
00:19:42Doctor.
00:19:43Dr. Sharman.
00:19:44Can you hear me?
00:19:45Will you please lie down?
00:19:46Please.
00:19:48Doctor.
00:19:52Are we...
00:19:54Are we going to make it...
00:19:56Make it back?
00:19:57We are back.
00:19:58We are back.
00:19:59Look, you're suffering from exhaustion.
00:20:02Please get back in bed.
00:20:04The...
00:20:05The animal specimen.
00:20:09Is it all right?
00:20:10I don't know.
00:20:12We crashed into the Mediterranean, and I guess it went down with a wreck.
00:20:15The others are dead.
00:20:19Make them...
00:20:21Make them...
00:20:23Find...
00:20:27My...
00:20:27My notes...
00:20:32Doctor.
00:20:32Will you lie down?
00:20:33Nurse!
00:20:34Doctor, how long can it live in case in that metal cylinder?
00:20:38I've got to know.
00:20:39It's our only hope.
00:20:40Cooperative, informative, altogether a joy and a pleasure to be around.
00:20:52A what specimen?
00:20:53What fatal disease?
00:20:55Would you mind telling me what this is all about?
00:20:58I'm sorry.
00:21:03I mean it.
00:21:05But I can't.
00:21:06Can't or won't?
00:21:08Both.
00:21:16He's dead.
00:21:18I know.
00:21:30Better get some sleep.
00:21:38He's dead.
00:21:59Pleasant dreams.
00:22:08I know.
00:22:09I know.
00:22:15Back on.
00:22:291933.
00:22:30That, are pretty bad so I don't understand ...
00:22:31All right.
00:22:33And...
00:22:33Всё.
00:22:34I know.
00:22:36I know.
00:22:54Grandpa.
00:22:57Grandpa!
00:22:59What is it, miocata?
00:23:01What?
00:23:03My gloves.
00:23:05Where are my gloves?
00:23:06I'm at the table.
00:23:11What is it?
00:23:13Where did it come from?
00:23:14Pepe, the little fisher boy.
00:23:17I've never seen anything like this before.
00:23:20No scientific record of such a creature.
00:23:24Look at the torso.
00:23:26The torso's that of a human being.
00:23:30And the articulation of the legs.
00:23:33Look at it.
00:23:34Look at it.
00:23:35But from where?
00:23:37Look at it, look at it.
00:23:40The cage.
00:23:41The cage, Marisa.
00:23:43Listen.
00:23:48Soft cloth, Marisa.
00:23:50The floating of the cage is rough and hard.
00:24:03It's so very ugly.
00:24:06And yet it seems so frightening.
00:24:19Come inside, miocata.
00:24:22Come inside, miocata.
00:24:26Marisa, come.
00:24:27I'm...
00:24:32What?
00:25:02Where are you?
00:25:06Marisa! Marisa!
00:25:10What is it, Grandpa?
00:25:13Come here. Come here.
00:25:18Observe, Miacara. Observe our strange friend.
00:25:22Look how much he has grown in but a few hours.
00:25:24It's unbelievable.
00:25:26Think, Marisa.
00:25:28Think of what will be said when I bring this strange creature
00:25:32to the Giardino Zoologico in Roma.
00:25:35Now I'm going to the village
00:25:37and I'm going to see the young fisher boy
00:25:40and learn from him where in the sea it was
00:25:42that he found our friend.
00:25:50Pa!
00:25:54Pa!
00:26:03Pa!
00:26:03Perico!
00:26:04Mondello!
00:26:04Venite parmo, Venito.
00:26:08Can you inform me of whereabouts the boy Pepe?
00:26:11Pepe?
00:26:12Si.
00:26:12But he's right over here playing like a Texas cowboy.
00:26:14Where?
00:26:16Oh, he is gone.
00:26:18Yet he was here a few moments ago.
00:26:19But I will see him tonight, Dottori,
00:26:21and I will tell him to seek you tomorrow.
00:26:23Ah, tomorrow I won't be here.
00:26:25I'm just now on my way to Rome.
00:26:28No, no, it's all right.
00:26:29Grazie lo stesso.
00:26:33Pao, pao, pao.
00:27:06Welcome to Cera.
00:27:07May I introduce myself, General?
00:27:09I'm Signorun, the commissario of the police.
00:27:11Thank you, Signorun, and this is Dr. Yule.
00:27:14Piacere.
00:27:14It's a pleasure.
00:27:15How do you do, sir?
00:27:16From the government in Rome, I received a telegram.
00:27:18I'm to cooperate with you.
00:27:19I'm at your service, Signorun.
00:27:21Now, if you will come with me,
00:27:22I will take you to your colonel Calder.
00:27:24He's not, uh, he's not badly hurt.
00:27:26Oh, no, General, don't you worry.
00:27:27He recovers quickly.
00:27:29It's all I could do to keep him
00:27:30from coming to meet you himself.
00:27:33This way, please.
00:27:52Congratulations, Bob.
00:27:53You made it.
00:27:54You made it.
00:27:55The first man in all history.
00:27:56How does it feel?
00:27:57Fine, sir.
00:27:58I'm sorry, except that, well.
00:28:00Yes, I know.
00:28:01It's tragic.
00:28:02The others died in the moment of their glory.
00:28:04But still, and I mean it,
00:28:06you deserve congratulations.
00:28:07Mine too, Bob.
00:28:09You did a magnificent, heroic job.
00:28:11Is there some place where we can talk privately?
00:28:13My office is yours, General.
00:28:15This way, please.
00:28:40You're welcome.
00:28:41I need the masturbation, sir.
00:28:43I need vΓ€hΓ€n, sir.
00:28:45Yes, sir!
00:29:05I want to thank you for coming so promptly, signor, and I want to thank your government
00:29:10for expressing its desire to cooperate in this matter.
00:29:13I must beg you, however, for the moment, to observe strict secrecy.
00:29:18It is understood.
00:29:20What I have to say you will find incredible, but true.
00:29:27Colonel Cauley here has just returned from an expedition to Venus.
00:29:32To Venice. Perhaps you mean Venezia.
00:29:37To Venus. The planet Venus.
00:29:39The planet Venus?
00:29:41That is correct.
00:29:42I was informed this matter was connected with something vast.
00:29:47But the planet Venus?
00:29:50Man's first interplanetary voyage.
00:29:54On the return trip, the spaceship was crippled by a meteor.
00:29:57Except for Colonel Cauley here, the entire crew perished.
00:30:01I am grieved.
00:30:02The problem that confronts us is this, signor.
00:30:04The atmosphere on Venus is such that a human being cannot breathe and survive for long, even after using what
00:30:11we considered foolproof respiratory equipment.
00:30:14Several members of the expedition died there before the others realized the danger.
00:30:18And Dr. Sharman, the chief scientist, also became fatally ill.
00:30:23He died here after the ship crash.
00:30:27Fascinating.
00:30:28Fascinating.
00:30:29Horrible, but fascinating.
00:30:30Now, on that ship was a particular sealed metal container.
00:30:34In it is an unborn specimen of the animal life on the planet.
00:30:37We've got to find it.
00:30:39Our task is to discover in what physiological way life is able to survive and to flourish there.
00:30:44Not until that secret is learned can another expedition expect to return.
00:30:48And return we must.
00:30:49For on Venus, important minerals were discovered that would be a vast benefit to our own civilization.
00:30:55I am at your disposal, general.
00:30:57In what way may I assist you?
00:30:59We need divers.
00:31:00Several divers to descend to the wreck to search for the specimen.
00:31:03They will be here in the morning.
00:31:10Don't you want me to drive for a while?
00:31:12No, no, cara.
00:31:13Non sono stanto.
00:31:14Grazie.
00:31:35And now, signor commissario, I should like to speak to the two fishermen who went aboard the wreck.
00:31:41Of course, general.
00:31:43I have them waiting.
00:31:44Now, if you will come with me, please.
00:31:56Verrigo, Mondello, one moment of your time, please.
00:32:04Si, senora commissario.
00:32:06General, this is Verrigo and this is Mondello.
00:32:09They are the two men who went inside of the ship before he sank.
00:32:12The American general wishes to speak to you of an item of great importance.
00:32:17We are looking for a cylinder about this high and about this round.
00:32:25Very probably it went down with the ship, but there's always the possibility that it was knocked loose
00:32:29and may drift ashore somewhere today, tomorrow.
00:32:33Who knows?
00:32:34It is so important that we recover this container and its contents
00:32:39that I have offered a reward of a half million lira.
00:32:43Please spread that information around the...
00:32:45You will not take my heart from me.
00:32:46Silencio, Pepe.
00:32:47The general is speaking.
00:32:48Continuo, general.
00:32:51What is it, son?
00:32:51What is it you wish to say?
00:32:53It is only if I speak of the thing from the ship
00:32:55that you has promised to me
00:32:57that I may keep my heart from the great country of Texas.
00:33:01Well, of course you may keep your hat.
00:33:03What do you know about the big container?
00:33:06On that is a matter of a half a million lira.
00:33:10How much is that?
00:33:12Sufficient to purchase for me a cowboy horse like they ride in Texas?
00:33:15Enough to buy many horses.
00:33:16Now, what do you know about the big container?
00:33:18You promised to me about the hat, about the horses?
00:33:21You have my promise, son.
00:33:24And he's there.
00:33:26Come on, follow me.
00:33:34Please, may I have my horse now?
00:33:36Empty.
00:33:37But I know where it is, the thing from inside.
00:33:39Where? Where is it?
00:33:40I took it to the Professor Leonardo and sold it to him for two hours later.
00:33:44That is how I have the hat from Texas.
00:33:46Professor Leonardo, where is he?
00:33:48He must be somewhere on the road to Messina.
00:33:50He said he was going to Roma.
00:33:52Well, how will we find him?
00:33:53How will we know him?
00:33:54He drives a truck with the house that follows like a goat.
00:33:58A trailer.
00:34:00Find it as quickly as you can.
00:34:01I'll wait here for the divers.
00:34:02Yes, sir. Come on, doc.
00:34:03Would you and your matter accompany the colonel?
00:34:04Of course, General.
00:34:06On the armor from your command.
00:34:07Besides, I have to see a man about a horse.
00:34:12And a half a million lira.
00:34:46The canvas has come loose.
00:34:48Ah, I'd better stop, then.
00:34:57You know, it occurs to me that our friend is perhaps a mutation.
00:35:02But of what species?
00:35:03I do not know.
00:35:05Now, here, you catch this on the other side, please.
00:35:06There's also the possibility that it might be a type of throwback
00:35:10Toward the prehistoric and unknown.
00:35:13Ah!
00:35:15Ah!
00:35:18Ah!
00:35:21Ah!
00:35:23Ah!
00:35:24Ah!
00:35:27Ah!
00:35:29Ah!
00:35:30Ah!
00:35:32Ah!
00:35:33Ah!
00:35:35Ah!
00:35:36Ah!
00:35:46Ah!
00:35:50Ah!
00:35:54Ah!
00:35:56Ah!
00:35:57Ah!
00:35:57Ah!
00:35:58Ah!
00:35:58Are you hurt?
00:36:01No, I-I-I don't think so.
00:36:05I guess I frightened it as much as it frightened me.
00:36:10But its claw was so strangely hot.
00:36:21I beg your pardon, but you must be because I-
00:36:23Ah!
00:36:24Ah!
00:36:26Ah!
00:36:27Ah!
00:36:27Ah!
00:36:27Ah!
00:36:27Ah!
00:36:28Ah!
00:36:29Ah!
00:36:32Ah!
00:36:35Ah!
00:36:36Ah!
00:36:37Ah!
00:36:38Ah!
00:36:39Ah!
00:36:41Ah!
00:36:42Ah!
00:36:43Well, first it was this high, then this high.
00:36:48Now it is tall, nearly as tall as a man.
00:36:51Is that the normal rate of growth?
00:36:54No, not as far as I know.
00:36:56The only data we have is in Dr. Sharman's notes.
00:36:59Where's the animal now?
00:37:00It fled into the wood.
00:37:01Let's go.
00:37:02No, please, please, wait, wait.
00:37:04Tell me, what is that creature?
00:37:06Where does it come from?
00:37:07I must know.
00:37:08We'll go with you, huh?
00:37:09I'm sorry, Professor, I can't now.
00:37:10Thanks for your help.
00:37:17Well, looks as though my patient is fully recovered.
00:37:23Good.
00:37:31Good.
00:37:38Good.
00:37:49No!
00:38:11No!
00:38:41No!
00:38:42No!
00:38:42No!
00:39:36Oh, my God.
00:39:42Oh, my God.
00:40:20Oh, my God.
00:40:23What you got, boy?
00:40:24What you got, boy?
00:41:05Don't move.
00:41:08Stay where you are.
00:41:12Let's back out quietly.
00:41:28Incredible.
00:41:30The creature has to be taken alive.
00:41:33There's a cart outside.
00:41:34Would you have your men bring it in the barn?
00:41:38Now will you get me a long wooden pole?
00:41:41I've had nightmares in my time,
00:41:43but I've never dreamed of anything like this.
00:41:46Actually, they're not ferocious unless they're provoked.
00:41:49That poor dog must have jumped him first.
00:41:53That's good.
00:41:59That's just what I need. Grazie.
00:42:03Now I'm going to try and prod the creature right into that cart.
00:42:07If I can get him in there, be ready to shut that gate.
00:42:15Come on down, pal. Jump.
00:42:17Come on.
00:42:21Come on.
00:42:22Okay. Come on down.
00:42:25Come on.
00:42:30All right. Come on.
00:42:33Come on down.
00:42:35Come on.
00:42:36Come on.
00:42:38Get back.
00:42:44demographic.
00:42:49Come on.
00:42:54You're a big guy.
00:42:56You're a big girl.
00:43:03You're a big guy.
00:43:05Look at what I sit there and I've seen.
00:43:22Get back.
00:43:23Look out.
00:43:31No!
00:43:32Stop it!
00:43:47Help!
00:43:54Help!
00:43:58Help!
00:44:00Help!
00:44:01Help!
00:44:04Help! Help!
00:44:32Help! Help!
00:44:36Help!
00:44:44Help!
00:44:49Help!
00:44:51Help!
00:44:56All right, men. Over this way.
00:45:20I don't like it.
00:45:21This is something I don't like. I don't like it.
00:45:44I don't like it.
00:45:46Yeah?
00:45:48I hate to intrude on your precious private thoughts,
00:45:51but I'd like to change the bandage on your arm.
00:45:54No.
00:46:00You're worried about what happened today.
00:46:04About where the creature is tonight, aren't you?
00:46:07We'll find him. We've got to.
00:46:10I guess I've been pretty inconsiderate and self-centered.
00:46:15You've had a lot on your mind.
00:46:17That's an apology. I think it went in the wrong direction.
00:46:21All you've done is try to help.
00:46:23All I've done is snarl at you.
00:46:29I hope when this is all over,
00:46:31you'll let me try to make it up to you.
00:46:33Over a table for two in a dark cafe.
00:46:38With a candle burning on the table?
00:46:41And a bottle of wine.
00:46:44Bob!
00:46:46Bob, call her!
00:46:46Excuse me.
00:47:01Here's something, Bob.
00:47:02Sherman wrote that the basic diet of these creatures is sulfur.
00:47:04Raw sulfur.
00:47:05I remember that much.
00:47:06They're rich sulfur beds in Sicily,
00:47:08not many kilometers from here,
00:47:09at the base of Mount Etna.
00:47:11We'll scour that mountain area as soon as it's light.
00:47:13If the creature's there, we'll recapture it.
00:47:15At that time, I would consider it an honor
00:47:17to offer the facilities of the Giardino Zoologic in Roma
00:47:20for its observation and examination.
00:47:23That will not be necessary, gentlemen.
00:47:25There is no long attempt to recapture the monster alive.
00:47:29I don't understand.
00:47:30I must inform you, senor,
00:47:31that there is no more cooperation between us.
00:47:34The beast must be destroyed.
00:47:36He has injured one man badly,
00:47:39and he might kill others.
00:47:41My duties of the welfare of my people,
00:47:43not this crazy scientific experiment.
00:47:46Andiamo!
00:47:47Senore, commissario, you can't do that!
00:47:51Senore, commissario!
00:47:53Senore, please, wait!
00:47:54Two brain to one old for the jeep and self-ship.
00:47:56Si, senore!
00:47:58Get in.
00:47:58Come on.
00:48:02Come on.
00:48:04Come on!
00:48:06Let's go!
00:48:28that is my position the safety of the people in this district is my affair my primary affair as
00:48:36long as i'm commissario it maybe you can have me replace that of course is your privilege until
00:48:42then i intend to function as commissario you are an efficient man senor a man of sincerity there
00:48:49will be no thought of replacing you then i must say that at daybreak i intend to use every means
00:48:55at my disposal to destroy that creature before it kills someone but you can't do that yes sir may
00:49:02i remind you that the commissario is a sicilian police chief performing the duties of his office
00:49:07i know that sir but but what would there be any objection general if dr yule and i tried to
00:49:16track this animal and take it alive before the commissario has him destroyed not for me signor
00:49:21cantino how do you propose to do this on venus we discovered quite by accident that these creatures
00:49:29are extremely susceptible to electric shock and that control voltage can paralyze them now if we
00:49:35could have two helicopters and a squad of armed paratroopers we might be able to drop an electrically
00:49:39charged wire net on the beast a net
00:49:44all i ask sir is permission to try
00:49:49if if this can be done before any human life is threatened the italian government will have
00:49:55no objection all right bob you shall have your copters thank you sir thank you senor
00:50:37the hook's working fine sir that's good sergeant
00:50:42take those sacks of sulfur over to the other copter look we're taking over a load of sulfur to beat
00:50:49our
00:50:49prisoner when we capture him if the commissario doesn't capture it first
00:51:04let's try it in and we go from black in the other coparkers we go to the cat
00:51:08but once we get to find the light of cascades
00:51:15let's go
00:51:15and we come
00:51:15and we go
00:51:15and we go
00:51:15and we go
00:51:27Jack, this is like a parachute.
00:51:29It's got to work the first time.

00:55:53Hurry it up.
00:56:07Careful.
00:56:25We're ready, Doc.
00:56:27Jump clear.
00:56:29Hit it.
00:57:04Maples here.
00:57:06No, no, John. Nothing's happened yet.
00:57:10Yes, I will.
00:57:11If you will all come in, please.
00:57:13The general will see you now.
00:57:15No, no. Whoa. Looks like something now.
00:57:17Keep a line open.
00:57:40Good morning, ladies and gentlemen of the press.
00:57:44I am fully aware of the rumors that began with an air crash
00:57:47ten days ago off the coast of Sicily.
00:57:51Not until now have I received permission
00:57:53to make known the facts
00:57:55exactly as they are.
00:57:58This cablegram
00:57:59has been signed by the United States
00:58:01Secretary of Defense.
00:58:04In the face of widespread speculation
00:58:07and after consultation with various foreign governments,
00:58:09the president has authorized release of all information
00:58:12to press and news agencies
00:58:13for their immediate publication.
00:58:15The airship, XY-21,
00:58:18which crashed into the Mediterranean Sea on the 11th,
00:58:20was a single-stage, astral-propelled rocket
00:58:23launched 13 months ago
00:58:26from a site within the United States.
00:58:29The rocket, with its complement of 17 men,
00:58:33had landed on the planet Venus.
00:58:35Venus?
00:58:36The planet Venus?
00:58:37Had landed on the planet Venus
00:58:39and was on the return flight to Earth
00:58:41when the ship plunged into the sea.
00:58:45There was one survivor,
00:58:47Colonel Calder,
00:58:48seated beside me,
00:58:50commander of the expedition.
00:58:52Some of you may also have heard the story
00:58:55of a monster now confined here in Rome's zoo.
00:58:58That beast is from Venus.
00:59:00It is an essential object of scientific study
00:59:03if man is to survive the atmosphere on Venus,
00:59:06poisonous to humans.
00:59:07May we be allowed to see this creature?
00:59:09I ask you, correspondents,
00:59:11to select three of your number
00:59:12to accompany Colonel Calder to the zoo.
00:59:15Those selected by you
00:59:16will, of course,
00:59:17pool their interviews
00:59:18with the entire press corps,
00:59:20and we will furnish you
00:59:21all necessary photos.
00:59:23Well, I guess that's all,
00:59:26and thank you for your patience.
00:59:38Sorry, old boy.
00:59:40My line.
00:59:41John?
00:59:42Get this.
01:00:33The size.
01:00:35Eight days ago,
01:00:36it was about this tall.
01:00:36How do you account for its astonishing rate of growth?
01:00:39Or is that norm on Venus?
01:00:41No, it isn't.
01:00:42The scientists here believe that the Earth's atmosphere
01:00:44has upset its metabolic rate.
01:00:46The more air it breathes,
01:00:47the more tissue it builds,
01:00:48and the bigger it gets.
01:00:50If you'll follow me, please.
01:01:00You've undoubtedly heard of Dr. Gerhard Blankford of Vienna,
01:01:03probably the world's top man in anesthesia.
01:01:06It's the doctor's job to keep the creature unconscious during the examination.
01:01:10Now, you'll note the wire running down to the creature's wrist.
01:01:14Dr. Blankford keeps 1,800 volts of electricity coursing through the body.
01:01:18More voltage, and it would die.
01:01:19Less, and it would awaken.
01:01:21Amazing.
01:01:22Amazing.
01:01:23Utterly amazing.
01:01:24You can get a better look at the wrist connection this way.
01:01:31This is Dr. Kuroku of the University of Tokyo.
01:01:34He's assisting Dr. Yule.
01:01:36Another attempt to pry secrets from the creature, doctor?
01:01:39We hope this electro-dynamometer
01:01:41will enable us to complete our examination of our passages.
01:01:45Could you give us any positive statement on your progress so far, doctor?
01:01:49So far, we have come to one conclusion.
01:01:52The creature's olfactory system is more highly developed
01:01:55than any known on this planet.
01:02:02We'll find Dr. Yule on the platform.
01:02:05He's the man in charge.
01:02:1867 cc's, correct?
01:02:19Si, esattamente.
01:02:2067.
01:02:25They're feeding the creature a compound of sulfur.
01:02:28Now, sulfur serves it as our vitamins do us.
01:02:35Grandpa, will you need me any more?
01:02:37No, no.
01:02:48You caught me unprepared.
01:02:51I've been cooking over a hot creature all day.
01:02:54You're getting lovelier every time I see you.
01:02:56Or is it the lights in this room?
01:02:58Well, next to that, I look dandy.
01:03:01Oh, colonel, when you have a free moment,
01:03:05I'd like to tell you about the latest nightmare I've had.
01:03:09Well, they're busy for the moment.
01:03:10Tell me now.
01:03:13Well, it concerns a dark cafe,
01:03:18a small table,
01:03:20a bottle of wine.
01:03:22And a burning candle.
01:03:24Mm-hmm.
01:03:25And that candle's burning lower and lower and lower.
01:03:31Pretty soon it's gonna burn out.
01:03:34Well, maybe if we hurry,
01:03:36we can find that dark cafe before it's too late.
01:03:40Good.
01:03:44Now, don't go away.
01:03:45I won't.
01:03:54If you'll come over here, please,
01:03:55Dr. Yule's expecting you.
01:04:02Dr. Yule, may I present Miss Reynolds, United Press,
01:04:05Mr. Maples of Reuters,
01:04:06Monsieur Lacroix, News France.
01:04:07We're happy to meet you.
01:04:08How do you do?
01:04:09General McIntosh has told us of the importance
01:04:11of knowing how this animal survives on Venus.
01:04:13We've discovered that the creature's respiratory system
01:04:16includes a sort of a fibrous filtering element
01:04:18which blocks out all of the poisonous vapors on Venus.
01:04:22Fortunately, we've been able to duplicate that system
01:04:24almost exactly.
01:04:25It's like a plastic sponge.
01:04:27It is made of one of the new synthetics.
01:04:29By the way, doctor,
01:04:31there's a rumor going around
01:04:31that gunfire has no effect on the beast.
01:04:34Why?
01:04:35This beast has no heart and it has no lungs.
01:04:38It has instead a network of small tubes
01:04:40throughout its entire body.
01:04:42Hence, firearms affect no great damage.
01:04:44Yes.
01:04:44The dynamometer is coming on the platform now, doctor.
01:04:47Please, right over here.
01:05:01Look out for those electric cables.
01:05:05Look out.
01:05:07Where's any police?
01:05:08Off the blackboard.
01:05:10Come on, doc.
01:05:16Hurry.
01:05:27Get that power back on it.
01:05:29This way, Colonel.
01:05:39The power's gone.
01:05:40Everyone outside.
01:05:41Fast.
01:05:41Hurry.
01:05:42Marissa!
01:05:44Marissa!
01:06:00Marissa!
01:06:02Oh, the mighty east back a little bit.
01:06:10Don't get in there too much.
01:06:12Come on, Spidey.
01:06:22Look!
01:06:24Get that elephant out of there!
01:06:37Hey!
01:06:38Come in it!
01:06:38Get up, красив dom0s.
01:06:41No!
01:06:52Come over!
01:06:53Hey!
01:06:53Hey!
01:06:54No, no, kill em!
01:06:54Hey!
01:07:14Get these people out of here.
01:07:15Where's everybody else?
01:07:44Yes, sir. And, General, we need some firepower down here quick.
01:07:47All right, Bob, all right. And as soon as I do, I'll get down there.
01:07:50Stay with the beast, but get reports back to me if you can.
01:07:53Right, sir.
01:07:54Creature?
01:07:55Loosen on the rampage. If it isn't stopped, it'll kill hundreds, maybe thousands.
01:07:59We'll need artillery and tanks immediately.
01:08:21What's wrong with your body and tank?
01:08:23It's impossible.
01:08:23How about the bottom line along?
01:08:23The top line is pressed to hit the right tower.
01:08:23We have all these naps and pins on the left.
01:08:24So, you have to do this to wait for a second.
01:08:24The top line is called the top line.
01:08:24Now, the top line is called the top line.
01:08:25How do you get here?
01:08:26How do you get here?
01:08:39Oh, my God.
01:09:03Oh, my God.
01:09:32Oh, my God.
01:10:15It's up one of the side streets.
01:10:17Yeah, I know.
01:10:17I can hear it.
01:10:18Doc, take them to the embassy.
01:10:19I'm going to track this creature as long as I can.
01:10:21Right.
01:10:36No, no, no, no.
01:10:47No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:11:11No, no, no, no.
01:11:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:12:11This is Colonel Calder.
01:12:12Get me General McIntosh.
01:12:13And hurry.
01:12:14This is an emergency.
01:12:17It disappeared into the Tiber, General, at Ponte Umberto.
01:12:20What do you think, Bob? Would hand grenades force it out?
01:12:22I don't know. I can't tell what that thing will do or where it'll do it.
01:12:25It's worth a try, sir.
01:12:27There's an artillery unit deployed at, uh...
01:12:29Palazzo di Justizio.
01:12:30The Palace of Justice, right across the bridge from where you are.
01:12:33They'll give you all the help you need.
01:12:35Start blasting it, Bob. We're moving up with another unit,
01:12:38over on the other section of the Tiber.
01:12:40Yes, sir.
01:13:01It's gotta be down there someplace. Keep blasting.
01:13:09It's called, we're talking. Anything there, Bob?
01:13:12No, General, we don't spot it here.
01:13:14Nothing here either.
01:13:14We've blasted the Tiber straight through the city for hours now.
01:13:17Got any ideas?
01:13:22Hello? Bob?
01:13:25You hear me?
01:13:34You hear me, Bob?
01:13:35You hear me, Bob?
01:13:37Come in, Bob.
01:13:47Come in, Bob.
01:13:48Sir, General, here at Ponte San...
01:13:53Ponte San Angelo.
01:13:53Come in, Bob.
01:14:21Bob!
01:14:29The Coliseum, head it toward the Coliseum.
01:15:19The Coliseum, head it toward the Coliseum, head it toward the Coliseum.
