The Quatermass Xperiment

Directed by Val Guest

Written by Val Guest, Richard H. Landau, Nigel Kneale

The first manned spacecraft, fired from an English launchpad, is lost from radar before roaring back to Earth and crashing in a farmer's field. The rocket is found to contain only one of the three men who took off in it; and he is unable to talk but appears to be undergoing a torturous physical and mental metamorphosis.
