Killers from Space

Killers From Space (1954) starring Peter Graves

Killers from Space is an interesting 1950's entry in the "aliens want to take over Earth" movie genre -- with an interesting twist. It begins with the protagonist, played by Peter Graves, surviving a seemingly fatal plane crash. And then he's accused of stealing military secrets. But he has no memory of doing it … or even how he survived the plane crash.

Later, it turns out that, under truth serum, he does remember what happened -- subconsciously. He died in the plane crash. And space aliens revived him. Why?
