Il mostro dei cieli (1957)
Mentre il mistero avvolge la scomparsa di alcuni aerei in ricognizione nelle regioni artiche, una mostruosa, gigantesca creatura alata fa la sua apparizione nei cieli dell'America settentrionale. L'aeronautica militare non ci mette molto ad associare quella incredibile presenza con le inspiegabili sparizioni e appronta immediatamente un piano di emergenza, ma l'orrenda cretura si fa beffe dei caccia che le vengono mandati contro per distruggerla. Il mostro, in realtà, è immune alle armi dell'esercito grazie ad una sorta di schermo di antimateria che lo circonda. Unica possibilità di abbattere la creatura è infrangere lo scudo che la protegge. In tempi da record, viene progettato e realizzato un raggio mortale e quando il mostro si permette una breve sosta appollaiandosi sull'Empire State Building...
