Giant aliens arrive on Earth. The visit appears to be altruistic but is it a Trojan Horse?

A race of giant aliens arrive on Earth. Their visit appears to be altruistic but is it a Trojan Horse? Stars Blair Underwood.

The Kanamits, nine-foot-tall aliens, arrive on Earth with one goal: to serve man. Their visit appears to be altruistic - but what's the catch..? 

Written by Rod Serling based on a short story by Damon Knight. Adapted by Dennis Etchison

Stars Blair Underwood, Steve Key, Christian Stolte, Kurt Naebig and Tony Sancho - with Stacy Keach as the narrator.

Originally a cult sci-fi and horror TV series created by Rod Serling and broadcast in the USA on CBS from 1959 to 1964, The Twilight Zone was first adapted by American producer Carl Amari in 2002 as a 40-minute radio drama series. 

Rod Serling had managed to electrify the new medium of television - so armed with a licence from CBS and the Serling estate, Amari's slick adaptions are based on the original TV scripts. 

Actor Stacy Keach (best known here as TV detective Mike Hammer) takes Serling's original role as narrator - with a full cast, music and sound effects. 

Produced and directed by Carl Amari and for Falcon Picture Group.
