"This short sci-fi movie felt like a long Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode. Gene Barry stars in this movie about five random people on Earth who are chosen by an alien and given a chance to save their world or be the defenders of it in an experiment that will last 27 days. The plot was good and held my interest, and the acting was pretty good. Since it was a simple story, there's not much else to say about it. Judge for yourself.
