The 27 Best Movies About Space, From "Landscape With Invisible Hand" to "Asteroid City"

Like many films that feature extraterrestrials, Wes Anderson's star-studded "Asteroid City" is more concerned with humanity than with aliens, though that doesn't mean alien life isn't a critical part of the story. The movie's plot largely revolves around a play-within-the-film about a town hosting a camp for brilliant, space-obsessed teens. When an alien appears in a large nearby crater and steals a bit of a fallen meteorite, the camp's attendees find themselves quarantined by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Additional extraterrestrial events ensue.
