Cold War paranoia, Russian spies, and adultery sound like the makings of a Hollywood drama, but no! They are indeed the ingredients of this hilariously witty world-premier farce. Oh yeah, did we mention the Martians?
The Cold War is alive and kicking the night that Sputnik crosses over America, and two hapless astronomers in a defunct observatory think that Sputnik’s crossing is going to be the highlight of their evening. Until, that is, FBI agents posing as Russian KGB storm the place, trying to find the author of intercepted encoded messages being sent from the observatory. Unfortunately, in this wacky world-premier farce, nobody is who they say they are, and everyone (or no one) is working for somebody (or something) else.
