One of the best bad movies of all time, now in its original 1.85 widescreen format for the first time. Tor is a Russian scientist caught in a nuclear blast while running from spies. The radiation transforms him into a rampaging desert monster, who then terrorizes the countryside. The scene with Tor and the rabbit is indelibly burned into the history of sci-fi schlock.
