The Angry Red Planet

The Angry Red Planet also called Invasion of Mars and Journey to Planet Four is a 1959 science fiction film starring Gerald Mohr and directed by Ib Melchior. Melchior was only givendays and a budget of 200,000 to make the film.citation needed The shortened production time necessitated the use of a CineMagic technique, which involved using handdrawn animations together with live action footage, and it was used for all scenes on the surface of Mars. Although this process was largely unsuccessful, producer Norman Maurer would attempt the same technique again in The Three Stooges in Orbit.

While exploring Mars, Ryan is attacked by a carnivorous plant, which is killed using a freeze ray nicknamed Cleo fired by Chief Warrant Officer Sam Jacobs. They also discover an immense batratspider creature, after mistaking its legs for trees, and the monster is repelled, again by Jacobs. When they return to their ship, the crew find that their radio signals are being blocked and the MR1 is grounded by a force field. OBannion leads the crew to a Martian lake with a city visible on the other side. They cross in an inflatable raft, only to be stopped by a giant amoebalike creature with a single spinning eye. The creature kills Jacobs and infects OBannons arm. The survivors escape to the MR1 and commence liftoff. Prof. Theodore Gettell, the ships designer, dies of an apparent heart attack due to the stress of the liftoff from Mars. The survivors then return to Earth, where OBannons infected arm is cured using electric shocks.When the mission scientists attempt to examine the expeditions data recorders, all they find is a recorded message. An alien voice announces that the MR1 crew were allowed to leave so they can deliver this message to Earth. The Martians have been watching human development throughout history, believe our technology has outpaced cultural advancement, and accuse mankind of invading their world. They warn humanity to never return to Mars or Earth will be destroyed in retaliation. ........
