Dr Cal Meecham is a top scientist in the fields of nuclear energy and electronics. One day he is contacted by a man named Exeter and asked to join a high-level project he is working on. Meecham travels to Exeter's isolated site in Georgia but it is soon obvious that things aren't as they appear to be.
This film was probably quite topical and interesting in 1955 but today it is laughable. So derisible that, in 1996, Mystery Science Theatre 3000 make an entire film that mocked this movie.
Even if the plot was relevant in 1955 it is still quite cheesily and predictably done. Acting is hammy, script is ridiculous at times and you can pretty much see through any attempts at subterfuge.
Not worth your time. Watch the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 send-up (which includes This Island Earth in its entirety) instead.
