"Pittsburgh, 1975. Edward Borman, a lowly government office drone, finds himself trapped, when the deadly men of Mercury seize his office building as a staging ground for their nefarious plot. Aided by Jack Yaeger, a daring aerospace engineer from a mysterious organization known as "The League," Edward must stop the invaders and their doomsday device, the Gravity Engine."

Drawing from the same retro serials that inspired such films as Star Wars and Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Mercury Men reintroduces audiences to the great mystery, danger, and suspense the stories were originally known for. The series consists of 10 online episodes, each approximately 7 minutes in length.

Alongside each episode of the series, additional story, media, behind-the-scenes features, and digital props are available for viewers to decipher the mysteries surrounding The Mercury Men. Available on their website here...

The Mercury Men is created by Christopher Preksta, best known as the writer/director of Captain Blasto, for which he was nominated for two Streamy Awards. His short concept film The Mercury Men (filmed prior to the series) was featured at San Diego Comic Con (2008), the Brainwash Movie Festival (awarded Best Film, 2008), and the Action on Film Festival (awarded Best Science Fiction Film & Best Visual Effects, 2008).

He was also a top three finalist at the Tribeca Film Festival Nintendo Showcase for his short film The Nintendo Office.

I just finished watching the first few episodes, and they are beautifully done! Very Happy

Since all ten of the episodes are a little over seven minutes long, the entire serial is roughly 75 minutes — or one hour and fifteen minutes.

I'm going to watch them all and then post a comment. I recommend you guys to the same. Cool
