Mars Attacks! (DVD)

Mars Attacks! (1996), directed by Tim Burton, is a satirical science-fiction film inspired by the classic Topps trading cards. When Martians arrive on Earth claiming peaceful intentions, global leaders and the media rush to embrace first contact. The celebration is short-lived, as the aliens reveal a violent and absurd agenda that throws the world into chaos.

Featuring an extensive ensemble cast led by Jack Nicholson, alongside Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito, and Natalie Portman, the film blends dark humor, elaborate visual effects, and Danny Elfman’s score to skewer political theater, media spectacle, and mid-century alien-invasion cinema.
