help It Came from Outer Space FAQ
Are the aliens in It Came from Outer Space actually hostile?
Ray Bradbury's story idea makes the aliens stranded rather than simply evil invaders. In Jack Arnold's 1953 film, John Putnam has to convince the town of Sand Rock that fear may be more dangerous than the visitors themselves.
What was special about the 3D in It Came from Outer Space?
It Came from Outer Space was Universal-International's first feature released in the 3D process. The desert crash, tunnel scenes, and alien point-of-view shots were designed to exploit that 1953 theatrical gimmick.
Who are the main human characters in It Came from Outer Space?
Richard Carlson plays amateur astronomer John Putnam, and Barbara Rush plays his fiancée, Ellen Fields. Their report of a buried spacecraft near Sand Rock, Arizona, starts the town's panic.
Was It Came from Outer Space based on a Ray Bradbury short story?
It came from an original Ray Bradbury screen treatment called The Meteor, not a previously published Bradbury short story. Harry Essex wrote the credited screenplay, with Bradbury's unusual sympathetic-alien concept still central to the film.
