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.

I watched the first webisode.
Love the look and feel of the piece.
Great use of black and white photography.
It's a striking contrast with the shocking white hot invaders.
Seventy minutes of webisodes for $10,000, go SyFy for picking this up!

E.D.

Just watched all ten webisodes.
What a charmingly nostalgic offering all shot for $10k.
The look, sound and gloriously lo-fi vibe is a real serial crowd pleaser.
Perfect, it ain't, but there's a lotta love on the screen here, guys, check it out.
