The premise

Giant robots from Venus invade Chicago. Stranded in the deserted city are Frank and Nora (who has recently attempted suicide). They meet a celebrating couple at a café, Vicki Harris and Jim Wilson. The quartet escape the robot patrol and take refuge in a large hotel. There, they encounter a new danger in Davis, a psychopathic killer.

Horror Vault's take

When Venus sends its mechanical enforcers to Earth, a nearly evacuated Chicago becomes a deadly ghost town — and four strangers find themselves trapped with nowhere to run. Forced together by circumstance, the group must navigate the cold menace of patrolling robots while the empty city harbors dangers that are disturbingly human. This lean 1950s sci-fi chiller blends alien-invasion dread with intimate psychological threat, keeping the tension close and personal. Classic B-movie atmosphere and a brisk pace make it a snapshot of Cold War-era anxiety at its most stripped-down.
