Mysterians, The 1957 Blu-Ray English Sub-Titled:

The Mysterians (地球防衛軍 Chikyū Bōeigun, lit. "The Earth Defense Force") is a 1957 tokusatsu science fiction film directed by Ishiro Honda and written by Shigeru Kayama, Takeshi Kimura, and Jojiro Okami, with special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya. Produced by Toho, it was the company's first alien invasion film. It stars Kenji Sahara, Yumi Shirakawa, Momoko Kochi, Akihiko Hirata, Takashi Shimura, Susumu Fujita, and Hisaya Ito. The film was released to Japanese theaters on December 28, 1957. An English-dubbed version of the film was prepared by RKO Radio Pictures and released to American theaters by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on May 27, 1959.[3]

A raging fire suddenly consumes a forest near Mount Fuji, followed by a violent landslide that completely wipes out a village. Authorities investigating the incidents are suddenly attacked by a huge robot, which makes its way to another village where the JSDF finally stops it. The robot is revealed to be of extraterrestrial origin, just as a huge dome surfaces from the ground near Fuji. The occupants of the dome, calling themselves Mysterians, claim to come in peace and only desire a small tract of land and the ability to marry Earth women. However, humanity sees through the Mysterians' seemingly innocuous requests and realizes they are mobilizing a war machine capable of wiping out human civilization so they can conquer the Earth. All of the planet's militaries combine their efforts into the Earth Defense Force and begin a desperate war against the Mysterians. But can even the most advanced weapons of mankind stand up to the Mysterians' incredible technology? The Mysterians was followed by a loose sequel, Battle in Outer Space, in 1959.
