Description

Les météorites sont en train de tomber sur le nord de l'Angleterre, dont l'une est observée par une unité radar de l'armée. Après qu'un fermier ait trouvé l'un des objets dans un champ, les soldats sont directement impliqués et le capitaine Johnny Dillon décide de demander officieusement au père de sa fiancée, Paula, de mener une enquête. Le père de Paula est le professeur Bernard Quatermass du British Experimental Rocket Group - "The rocket man !", comme le dit une des troupes de Dillon. Quatermass et le Rocket Group, qui regroupe maintenant Paula et le génie des mathématiques Leo Pugh, se remettent de la nouvelle selon laquelle l'une des deux roquettes Quatermass II a explosé lors d'un test au sol en Australie, tuant des centaines d'employés et mettant fin à leur projet de construction bases sur la lune.

The Bolts

Army captain John Dillon defies a clampdown to take the remains of a crashed object to Quatermass's British Rocket Group. Quatermass returns with him to the crash site - a huge domed chemical plant. While they are there, another small object crashes, a gas seeps out and a small bubble appears on Dillon's cheek.

Dillon has been affected and now has a scar on his cheek. He is taken away to the plant by some zombie-like guards and Quatermass is unable to find out what has happened to him. He later visits Vincent Broadhead, an MP who has been probing the plant's activities, and joins him at an official inquiry, But several of the commission also bear scars.
