An army desert base in bright harsh daylight, sand dunes all around, tents and watchtowers, a big radar truck with a spinning dish parked in the open. A giant alien — brownish-black, slimy, with long whipping tentacles — has wrapped its tentacles around the radar truck and is dragging it across the sand toward the dunes, the operator trapped inside the cabin. On the watchtower, a soldier loads a rocket launcher. Sound: groaning metal, wet tentacles slapping, shouting men, the alien's low roar, radio voices. Shot 1 (0–3s) — THE HOOK: Low shot across the sand. The giant alien wraps its slimy tentacles around the radar truck and hauls it backward across the desert toward the dunes, the wheels carving deep tracks in the sand, the dish bending and sparking. Inside the cabin, the operator bangs on the glass and shouts into his radio: "IT'S DRAGGING ME TO THE DUNES!" Shot 2 (3–6s): Up on the watchtower. A soldier lifts a rocket launcher onto his shoulder and aims out at the truck — but holds his fire, the alien wrapped on the cabin with the operator still inside. He calls on the radio: "Get out! Jump clear!" Shot 3 (6–9s): At the radar truck. The operator kicks his door open, cuts through a strap holding him in, and jumps out into the sand, rolling clear and running. The alien, still wrapped around the empty truck, drags it around and then slides off onto the open sand flat, rearing up tall and clear, tentacles spread wide. Shot 4 (9–13s) — BIG SLOW-MOTION MOMENT: The alien is out in the open on the sand now. The soldier fires from the tower. Bullet time — the rocket streaks across the desert in slow motion, smoke trailing behind it, straight into the alien. The hit throws its slimy body up off the sand, tentacles flinging outward, dust and sand hanging in the air. Shot 5 (13–15s): Time snaps back. A big burst of fire and slime rolls across the sand flat as the alien drops and lies still. The operator runs clear across the dunes as soldiers come out of the tents. Smoke drifts over the desert base. Cut.
