It Came From Outer Space (Legend, Fri 1:00pm - 2:35pm) is a pioneering science fiction film directed by Jack Arnold, released in 1953. This film is notable for being one of the first to be shot in 3-D. The story unfolds in a small Arizona town, where an amateur astronomer and his fiancée witness the crash of a mysterious spacecraft. As the plot develops, local townspeople begin to act strangely, leading to the discovery that the spacecraft's alien inhabitants, who are benign in nature, have assumed human identities to repair their ship and return home. "It Came From Outer Space" is celebrated for its innovative use of 3-D technology and its more sympathetic portrayal of aliens, which was somewhat unconventional for the era. The film combines elements of suspense and mystery, setting a standard for the science fiction genre in the 1950s.

The soundtrack of "It Came From Outer Space" was composed by Henry Mancini, Herman Stein, and Irving Gertz, notable composers in the sci-fi genre during that era. The score is characterized by its eerie and suspenseful quality, capturing the essence of 1950s science fiction cinema. It employs a combination of orchestral music and electronic sounds, including the theremin, which was commonly used to create a sense of otherworldliness in science fiction films of the time. The music plays a crucial role in building the film's atmosphere, adding to the tension and mystery surrounding the alien visitors. The soundtrack's unique blend of instruments and tonalities effectively enhances the sense of intrigue and the unknown, which is central to the film's narrative.
