The Doom Busters
A war-time sci-fi adventure that sees the inhabitants of a sleepy English village fighting aliens from another world, against a backdrop of the Second World War.
1940. War rages across Europe. Britain prepares for the coming invasion. But for Arthur Roundtree (Tom Bailey), a young man serving in the Home Guard, the war is a dull affair. He dreams of action and adventure, but due to a medical condition he remains stuck in a small, sleepy English village miles away from the war. However, when an extraterrestrial creature crashes on the outskirts of the village, a training exercise suddenly turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Arthur and his companions realise they are not only fighting for their lives but fighting to save the entire Galaxy!
