Theatrical Trailer

It’s a close encounter of the hilarious kind when five of the universe’s coolest aliens crash-land on planet Earth! Piloted by an ultra-hip Martian, the cosmic crew ends up in a sleepy Midwestern town. Unfortunately, it’s Halloween night, and as the local radio station replays Orson Welles’ 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast, the citizens mistake these little space invaders for harmless trick-or-treaters. Instead of the global invasion they planned on, these misguided Martians bungle their way into a series of madcap misadventures!
