All-American boy, David MacLean, awakens one night and spots an alien spaceship outside his window. His parents decide to investigate but when they return, their personalities have changed -- almost as if they've become different people. Frightened, the boy tells the local police what has happened. He gets little response until a doctor and an astronomer take him seriously. The two scientists fear the Earth has been invaded and that they'd better act fast if humanity is going to be saved.

Tonight, first contact will be made!
A beautifully-crafted tale of a superior being from Venus who has the power of life and death at his touch. Academy Award-winning actress Patricia Neal's glowing and sensitive performance as a woman caught up in the biggest event in history is complemented by Helmut Dantine's powerful, moving portrayal as the Stranger. Suggested by events in the sci-fi classic THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, this film is a touching, humanizing and haunting story of "first contact" with a peaceful and advanced intelligence from another planet coming to Earth with an ultimatum and out-of-this-world powers to back it up.
