Tim Burton's 1996 satire 'Mars Attacks!' plays like a pulp comic that learned how to sneer. Inspired by the infamous trading cards, the film imagines Earth besieged by cackling Martians whose idea of diplomacy involves vaporizing landmarks and humiliating humanity's leaders. Jack Nicholson pulls double duty as both president and Vegas hustler, while a gleefully overqualified cast-Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Michael J. Fox, Glenn Close, and others-embraces the joke. Burton directs with pop-art menace, staging global destruction as a warped cartoon. This special edition includes collectible art cards and two double-sided posters, making it a fitting shrine to one of Burton's most mischievous films.
