Il dottor Russell Marvin lavora in una base militare al progetto "Sky Hook" consistente nella messa in orbita di nuovi rivoluzionari satelliti. Gli esperimenti di lancio si rivelano più volte disastrosi, finchè si scopre che la causa va attribuita alla presenza di una misteriosa, gigantesca astronave extraterrestre. Gli alieni aprono le ostilità e affidano a Marvin un ultimatum: se le grandi potenze non si arrenderanno, in breve la Terra verrà distrutta..."
