The Martian Chronicles - Special Edition

From the mind of legendary writer Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451, Something Wicked This Way Comes) springs what is perhaps his most epic vision. Capturing mankind’s first venture into the colonization of another planet—and its tragic first contact with another species—The Martian Chronicles is a stunning sci-fi achievement that will take you from the edge of your seat…to the stars! Earth is on the verge of extinction. To survive, mankind must find another place to live. And when three expeditions to Mars, headed by Col. John Wilder (screen legend Rock Hudson, The Tarbished Angels), find suitable conditions for relocation, humans pour in by the shipload, bringing the old evils of Earth with them! As Wilder begins to heed the lessons of the dying Martian civilization, can he save humanity from repeating its own doom? Directed by Michael Anderson (Logan’s Run) and scripted by Richard Matheson (The Last Man on Earth), this monumental miniseries co-stars Gayle Hunnicutt (Target), Bernie Casey (Sharky’s Machine), Darren McGavin (TV’s The Night Stalker), Roddy McDowall (Fright Night), Bernadette Peters (The Jerk), Joyce Van Patten (The Falcon and the Snowman), Maria Schell (The Hanging Tree), Fritz Weaver (Black Sunday), James Faulkner (TV’s Game of Thrones) and more.
