Multiple cameras capture scenes of panic and destruction as a strange object lights up the Los Angeles night time sky. The soaring object seems to have an intelligence of its own, splitting apart and moving in different directions as though working to a sinister plan. Witnesses crash their cars on the freeway in panic and flee in terror as the weird object reminds them of an incident 70 years ago when Los Angeles seemed to come under attack from the sky. Scientists investigate whether this is an object from outer space, a North Korean assault or the real life Iron Man, trying to get to Mars.
