Summary
The serial follows Professor Bernard Quatermass of the British Experimental Rocket Group, who is called upon to investigate a series of unusual meteorite showers occurring across the country. His inquiries gradually reveal a covert programme of alien infiltration operating within key institutions of the British government. As the influence spreads, several of Quatermass’s closest colleagues fall under extra-terrestrial control.
With conventional avenues of resistance compromised, Quatermass is compelled to employ his own experimental rocket prototype, an unsafe craft previously responsible for a nuclear accident at an Australian test range, in a final attempt to halt the alien takeover. The mission represents both a scientific gamble and a last resort to prevent the subjugation of humanity.
