The Quatermass Xperiment

Includes a Q&A with Jon Dear, who worked closely with Hammer to provide extensive content for their latest 4K Quatermass releases

The first manned spacecraft, fired from an English launchpad, is first lost from radar, then roars back to Earth and crashes in a farmer's field, and is found to contain only one of the three men who took off in it.

He is unable to talk but appears to be undergoing a torturous physical and mental metamorphosis.
