The Mysterians

Japanese village. Autumn cicadas. A vanished people. Aliens arrive, seeking land and wives after vaporizing a swatch of Earth. A colossal robot erupts, incinerating what's left. Humanity faces a choice: annihilation or subjugation. Honda's paranoid, post-Hiroshima nightmare gets a vivid, widescreen treatment.
