Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. is a 1966 British science fiction film and the second of two films based on the British science-fiction television series Doctor Who. It was the sequel to Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965), and starred Peter Cushing in his return to the role of the eccentric inventor and time traveller Dr. Who. It also featured Bernard Cribbins and Andrew Keir. It was filmed in Technicolor and in widescreen Techniscope format.
The script is based on the television serial The Dalek Invasion of Earth, although like the first film (which was also based on a serial in the original series) there are many structural differences. For example, in the television series, the Doctor is an alien who is simply called "the Doctor", while in the two films he is human and "Who" is his actual surname.
Tom Campbell, a London Special Constable, is on patrol near a jewellery shop. Men are burgling the shop and Tom is struck down by their getaway driver before he can stop them. Running to what appears to be a police box to call for backup, Tom enters TARDIS, a time machine operated by its pilot, Dr. Who, with his niece Louise and his granddaughter Susan.
