some nameless alien off on a distant ship from a distant planet have send the giant robot kronos to rob the world of it energy . they have get a prototype clank around mexico for opener and if he prove successful more will be send . it would certainly take a lot of time for just this one kronos to perform that task . for reason i can not explain the alien first capture the mind of lead scientist john emery who telepathically direct kronos to his first target . since emery be kill off later and the monster seem to function well enough without emery a a controller and why the alien need him in the first place be a bit bizarre . in any event scientist jeff morrow and barbara lawrence and and george ohanlon who work under emery aren not fool a bit about his nature . and of course they come up with a plan to deal with the rag metal giant . kronos be a perfect film for the fifty and the bad guy be never see theyre just out there look to undermine mankind . it a perfect film for the cold war . and jeff morrow assure u we will be ready for them in the future . the player look like theyre have a grand old time mouth a many clichéd line the writer could put in the script . i get the impression that kronos be the kind of film ed wood might have do on a big budget with a bit more care .
