Summary

Aliens, frustrated by humanity's refusal to acknowledge their existence and fearing mankind will eventually unleash a doomsday weapon, enact Plan 9: resurrecting the dead in a small California town to force the world's attention. As reanimated corpses stalk a graveyard, a pilot, his wife, and the local police try to uncover the cause and confront the extraterrestrials aboard their flying saucer.
