Invasion is a 1966 low-budget British sci-fi film, directed by Alan Bridges for producer Jack Greenwood of Merton Park Studios.
The film was written by Roger Marshall from a storyline by Robert Holmes. Holmes later re-used elements of his storyline in a 1970 Doctor Who serial entitled Spearhead from Space, starring Jon Pertwee.
It tells the story of an alien spacecraft which crash-lands on Earth, near a secluded hospital in the Home counties. The aliens, who are humanoid and resemble Asians, are taken to a rural hospital where they cause a forcefield to be raised around the building.
The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction praises Alan Bridges' direction, saying that he "creates a powerfully strange atmosphere despite a very small budget."
The film was theatrically released by Anglo-Amalgamated in the UK, and by American International Pictures in the United States.
A very brief video release by Warner Home Video was available in the UK in 1992.
A DVD version was re-released in November 2014 by Networkonair.
