MARS ATTACKS! (1996), directed by Tim Burton, is a satirical sci-fi comedy that playfully skewers 1950s alien invasion tropes. Featuring an all-star ensemble cast, the film depicts Earth’s chaotic response to a gleefully destructive Martian attack. With its over-the-top visual effects, dark humor, and campy aesthetic, Mars Attacks! offers a sharp, irreverent take on Cold War-era paranoia and human folly.
