Introducing PLAN 79 FROM OUTER SPACE: The sequel to the sequel to the best worst movie all time: PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. 70 plans later (and thirty years after the events of PLAN 59), the Invaders are back! But this time, we take our battle with them into space! Following the events of PLAN 59, Captain Jack Trent leads a cadre of Earth-based explorers into the cosmos to search for a new planet to call home. Little do they know they're being followed by The Invaders, whose plan to destroy humanity has only intensified over time. When a seemingly random meteor shower leaves the crew stranded in space, Captain Trent will discover the Invaders aren't the only aliens out for human blood. Coming in December from Dren Productions!
