Sinopsis: La calle Maple es una tranquila calle residencial, donde todo el mundo se conoce y no hay ningún disturbio. O no los había, porque cuando tras un destello en el cielo empiecen a suceder cosas extrañas, la calle Maple se transformará en un hervidero de miedo y paranoia.
Frases destacadas:
Opening Narration: Maple Street, U.S.A. Late summer. A tree-lined little world of front porch gliders, barbecues, the laughter of children, and the bell of an ice-cream vendor. At the sound of the roar and the flash of light, it will be precisely 6:43pm on Maple Street. This is Maple Street on a late Saturday afternoon. Maple Street, in the last calm and reflective moment before the monsters came.
Closing Narration: The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices, to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own - for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.
