Martians interrupt television to announce they are coming to Mexico and will soon enslave the Earth. However, everyone thinks this is a joke and people couldn't care less. But, when El Santo meets up with one of these Martians, he immediately does what he does best--he wrassles with them. In fact, time and time again, various Martians come to the planet--only to have their butts whipped by our masked super-hero. However, in each case, before El Santo can deliver a knockout blow, the cowardly Martians activate a device on their belts and they disappear. Can El Santo stop the Martian invasion and thereby save every single soul on this planet? Fortunately, the Martian ship DOES come equipped with a self-destruct lever and these aliens asphyxiate very easily--so my bet is on El Santo!!
Like all the other El Santo movies I have seen, it abounds with unnecessary fights throughout the film and for the most contrived reasons. But, more importantly, it also features this guy going about his everyday life while wearing this silly luchador mask. I love how in some films, you see him going on dates, scoring with women and showering--all while wearing his silver mask! This and the silliness of the plot in "Santo el Enmascarado de Plata vs. La Invasión de los Marcianos". While not the silliest of these Santo plots...it's among the silliest and make the film more of what we want--incredible and bizarre laughs from start to finish. Unfortunately, it also is a bit dull here and there and lacks the energy of some of his other bizarre films.
