I giganti invadono la Terra (1957)
Un'esplosione di prova della prima atomica al plutonio è prevista per la prima mattina in un sito militare a Desert Rock in Nevada. Quando la reazione a catena per la carica fallisce il suo ciclo e non esplode come previsto, il tenente Glenn Manning riceve l'ordine di tenere i suoi uomini nella trincea di protezione, dato che si attende ancora l'esplosione ma non si sa quando avverrà. Pochi istanti dopo, un aereo civile non identificato si schianta vicino al sito della bomba; Manning salta fuori dalla trincea e corre nella zona di detonazione per salvare il pilota. Una volta lì giunto, la bomba detona e Manning è colto in pieno dall'esplosione atomica, che lo brucia e gli disintegra istantaneamente vestiti e capelli.
