A woman accidentally discovers the Plaque of Kolob which leads her to discover an insidous alien plot for world domination documented by a disreputable early Mormon prophet. 'Plan 10 from Outer Space' is an eccentric comedy involving a bizarre relationship between Mormons, bees and extra terrestrials, hot on an obviously miniscule budget with a largely unknown cast, save for b-movie queen Karen Black.
Acting
Karen Black commits to bee-witchery like it's Oscar bait.
Production
Budget so tiny the aliens shop at thrift stores.
Writing
Mormon cosmology mashed with Ed Wood homage somehow works.
Director
Trent Harris
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Trent Harris is a Utah cult legend whose 'Rubin & Ed' also mines Mormon-adjacent weirdness; this is his most unfiltered religious satire.
The title parodies Ed Wood's 'Plan 9' but Harris allegedly wrote it before knowing Wood's film—convergent schlock evolution.
