Mars Attacks
Martians wage war
Mars Attacks is a 1996 science fiction comedy film directed by Tim Burton, depicting a satirical alien invasion of Earth.
The title and visual style pay homage to a 1962 trading card series of the same name, notorious for its graphic violence.
The phrase evokes campy B-movie aesthetics and gleeful destruction: The party decorations had a Mars Attacks vibe—ray guns and flying saucers everywhere.
