Description: About this productProduct InformationDirector Tim Burton unleashes MARS ATTACKS!, a vicious, affectionate, brightly-colored homage to 1950s alien invasion movies. When a shiny silver flying saucer lands in the Nevada desert, a group of skull-faced Martians exit the gleaming craft. Although they claim to be peaceful, they promptly "vaporize" a gathering of unfortunate Earthlings, kicking off a bizarre high-tech war with wild special effects. This studiously campy sci-fi spoof, based on a series of Topps bubble-gum cards, gleefully parodies not only schlock B-horror movies, but also overblown blockbusters such as INDEPENDENCE DAY. This subversive film is helped along by an all-star cast including Jack Nicholson in dual roles as both a clueless U.S. President (with First Lady Glenn Close) and a Las Vegas sleazebag. The film follows the wacky WAR OF THE WORLDS-like proceedings from the points of view of numerous colorful characters, from the inane U.S. Press Secretary (Martin Short) to a trailer-park family (Lukas Haas and Sylvia Sidney), to singer Tom Jones (as himself).Product IdentifiersUPC0085391448037eBay Product ID (ePID)3257268Product Key FeaturesDirectorTim Burton, Timothy BurtonGenreComedyEditionWarner Brothers Century CollectionMovie/TV TitleMars Attacks!RatingPG-13Leading RoleAnnette Bening, Jack Nicholson, Glenn CloseSignal StandardNTSCAdditional Product FeaturesFormatVhsDisplay FormatWarner Brothers Century CollectionLeafCats309Film CountryUSARelease Date19970617
