If you need convincing that the movie was filmed to depict a boy's fantasy, pay attention to David's close relationship to Col. Fielding (Morris Ankrum) of the U.S. Army. David becomes his constant companion, even showing the infantry soldiers how to use an alien weapon. Some people might consider this just campy nonsense. But it's more than that: it's a wonderful depiction of a child's fanciful imagination (in the tradition of The Wizard of Oz). The science-fiction elements on display in Invaders From Mars are largely silly stuff — but that's because it's a boy who's imagining everything that's happening. And in that context Invaders From Mars is a wonderful movie.

Sheffield resents the efforts of Morris Ankrum, his daughter, Ann Todd, and Douglas Kennedy to capture lions for sale to zoos.
