The First Satellite That Returned To Earth ...
... And The Hell It Brought With It!
If you believe that the Michael Crighton classic, The Andromeda Strain, was the first "Some weird life form fell to Earth attached to a satellite and then grew exponentially in our habitat so scientists had to figure out a way to kill it" movie, you will love this.
The Flame Barrier stands as living testament to the fact that microbes were affecting Hollywood script writers long before 1971.
Likewise, this is the absolute pinnacle in the career of classic actor Dan Gachman, who, after turning in the acting role of a lifetime, never acted again. ~ Luthor Billis
This movie has virtually disappeared from the face of the Earth. Of those who saw it on late night TV in the 1960's, who can forget the look of terror frozen on the scientist who had been "absorbed" by the radioactive crystalline goo? You who are too young to remember, it will seem like nothing. But for those vintage enough to remember, that scene must be seared in the back of your eye sockets.
And how did a satellite crash through a jungle, skid hard enough to leave a scorched gouge, and then somehow wedge itself down into the bottom of a cave anyway?
You are in for a real treat. ~ proeling
