Plot:	After excavating some dead Martians from a subway tunnel, scientists realize their power to release the latent evil in human beings may just have been lying dormant, and that it may already be too late...
Overview:	Workers excavating at an underground station in London discover the skeletal remains of ancient apes with large skulls. Further digging reveals what appears to be an unexploded German bomb from World War II. Missile expert Colonel Breen (Julian Glover, "The Secret Garden", "Troy") is brought in to investigate, accompanied by Professor Bernard Quatermass (Andrew Kier, "Dracula Prince Of Darkness", "Rob Roy"). When the interior of the "missile" is exposed, a dead locust-like creature is discovered. It is determined by Quatermass that these "locusts" are in fact Martians who altered the brains of our simian ancestors in order to eventually lay claim to the Earth. But when the scientists realize their power to release the latent evil in human beings may just have been lying dormant, it may already be too late... Originally screened by BBC television in December 1958, Quatermass and the Pit was the final entry in the original trilogy of Quatermass stories by writer Nigel Kneale. Hammer optioned the story from Kneale in 1961, but finance and distribution problems delayed production for another six years. The film represented the Hammer debut of acclaimed director Roy Ward Baker (who had made A Night to Remember in 1958) and starred Andrew Keir as Professor Quatermass. Produced at MGM's expansive Borehamwood studio, Quatermass and the Pit is one of Hammer's most polished, and thought-provoking, films.
