Short description
News producer, Tim O'Hara gets himself fired for unwillingly compromising his bosses' daughter during a live transmission. A little later, he witnesses the crashing of a small Martian spacecraft, realizing his one-time chance of delivering a story that will rock the earth. Since Tim took the original but scaled-down spaceship with him, the Martian follows him to retrieve it.
What's left behind the scenes
- The exterior of Tim's house (played by Jeff Daniels), with its staircase, almost exactly replicates the corresponding sets from the original 1960s series.
- In the original series, Uncle Martin (played by Ray Walston) had three abilities – he could levitate, become invisible (with his antenna raised), and read minds (of Earthlings). In this project, Uncle Martin (played by Christopher Lloyd) can only levitate and become invisible. He has some other abilities as well, but reading the minds of Earthlings is out of the question.
- The original series did not have an episode where the character played by Christopher Lloyd returned to Mars, so the film gave him a line about arriving here in 1963 and finally returning home.
- Initially, Zoot (the living spacesuit) was a non-speaking character; he was only made a wisecracker during post-production.
