War of the Satellites

5/18/1958; 65 minutes

An "unknown force" declares war against Earth when the United Nations disregards warnings to cease and desist in its attempts at assembling and then launching the first satellite into space. Rapidly conceived, filmed, and released to exploit the international media frenzy surrounding the launch of the Russian Sputnik satellite, the first in space. (#35479)
