The mostly true story of the legendary director, Edward D. Wood,Jr, hailed as the worst director ('Plan 9 From Outer Space', 'Glen or Glenda?' and 'Bride of the Monster') of all time, and his strange group of friends and actors: An ode to cinema!

The Martians decide to attack our planet and devastate everything. Why? Because it's fun!
