From legendary stop-motion animation master Ray Harryhausen, 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH:
50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION debuts on DVD July 31! This two-disc edition contains loads of special features including new interviews with Ray Harryhausen, director Tim Burton, and actress Joan Taylor.
SYNOPSIS:
Upon its return from a mission to Venus, an American spaceship crash-lands in the sea near Sicily. The rescue party discovers that the astronauts have brought back a curious gelatinous mass that soon hatches and evolves into a strange bi-ped creature which increases in size rapidly. While being subjected to laboratory experimentation, the creature, now 20-feet tall, escapes its confines, goes on a destructive rampage through Rome, battles a zoo elephant and swims in the Tiber. It eventually takes refuge in the Colosseum, where the film’s pyrotechnic finale occurs during a climactic showdown with the military.
