Sci-fi movie — abandoned spaceship returns to Earth












4














As a child, I saw a movie whose premise is that an abandoned Earth-made spaceship returns to Earth, leaving scientists perplexed. Meanwhile, an astronaut wanders the streets, slowly turning into an alien creature.



The film concludes with a giant creature being destroyed by military fire power.



It was filmed in black and white. I'm guessing it was shot in the fifties. I haven't seen it for 40 years, somewhere in the late 1970s to the 1980s.

This sounds like the 1953 BBC serial The Quatermass Experiment:




When the spaceship that carried the first successful crew returns to Earth, two of the three astronauts are missing, and the third – Victor Carroon – is behaving strangely. It becomes apparent that an alien presence entered the ship during its flight, and Quatermass and his associates must prevent the alien from destroying the world.

    Maybe Monster a Go-Go? It was made in 1965, and is awful. An astronaut returns to Earth in a space capsule, but has apparently been turned into a radioactive monster. At the end, it turns out that the astronaut is elsewhere and the monster has disappeared.



    The movie can be seen here. It was also used in a Mystery Science Theater episode.
