About The Purple Monster Strikes
A Martian invader crashes his spaceship conveniently close to the workshop of a scientist who is developing an interplanetary craft. If the extraterrestrial Purple Monster can complete the rocket ship and return to Mars, he will be able to start a full-scale invasion of Earth. Good thing Craig Foster sets out to thwart the Monster's mission!
Directed by Spencer Gordon Bennet, Fred C. Brannon, The Purple Monster Strikes leans on a strong ensemble — Roy Barcroft, Dennis Moore, Linda Stirling — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1945.
