Limited Mediabook Edition from Anolis Entertainment! Release date: June 21, 2024
Aliens from the constellation Hydra have to make an emergency landing with their spaceship on Earth, very close to Rome. To make the spaceship airworthy again, the aliens kidnap Professor Wallace, his daughter and other earthlings, including two Chinese agents. The repair is successful and instead of releasing the humans, the alien visitors take them back to their home planet.
Naturally, the abductees are less than thrilled and a mutiny ensues - with unforeseen consequences. Now the earthlings are traveling to galactic zones that no human has ever seen before. Will they ever return to Earth?
2+5: Missione Hydra is an Italian film from the 1960s that combines everything you love about cinema. An imaginative story, handmade special effects á la Cinecittà, a tiny pinch of agent cinema and a snappy score, this time by the much-appreciated maestro Nico Fidenco. It's time to buckle up and take off!
Director Paolo Heusch has created a thrilling “whodunit” thriller based on a screenplay by frequent writer Ernesto Gastaldi, which cleverly combines crime and horror. With Carl Schell, Curt Lowens and Barbara Lass, welcome actors from the eternal second and third series stand in front of the camera, bravely confronting all adversity in this literally fur-covered thriller.
