When aliens, whose own planet has been destroyed by nuclear war, land in Japan, demanding a small piece of land and some earth women with whom to rebuild their race, the powers of the world decide against a peaceful approach and determine to rid the planet of these invaders, in this generally diverting piece of science fiction, which suffers somewhat from several rather drawn out action sequences and a few cheesily didactic moments.
