Gurney Jr. for American International Pictures (AIP), Terror from the Year 5000 (1958)—also released under the alternate title Cage of Doom—is an iconic 1950s Atomic-Age sci-fi thriller. Distributed on a popular drive-In double bill alongside The Screaming Skull, the film notably features the screen debut of acclaimed actress Salome Jens (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Seconds). Edited by legendary Oscar-nominated film editor Dede Allen (Bonnie and Clyde, Dog Day Afternoon), this classic time-travel horror remains a beloved late-night broadcast staple and fan favorite. 🎬 PLOT SYNOPSIS: Working from a secluded island estate in Florida, nuclear physicist Professor Howard Erling (Frederic Downs) and his ambitious assistant Victor (John Stratton) invent a prototype time machine capable of swapping objects across centuries. After retrieving a radioactive statuette dating to 5200 A.D., visiting curator Dr. Robert Hedges (Ward Costello) arrives to investigate. Ignoring safety warnings, Victor secretly revs the machine to maximum power, inadvertently pulling a terrifying, radiation-scarred female mutant (Salome Jens) from a nuclear-devastated future. Armed with a hypnotic touch and a uncanny face-stealing mask, the future invader embarks on a deadly spree to abduct uncorrupted human DNA before time runs out. 👥 CAST & CREW: • Director: Robert J.
