The year is 1980 and sightings of UFOs are becoming more and more commonplace, when people are disappearing and their bodies are turning up with organs removed, it is assumed that the aliens are abducting humans for transplanting purposes.

The organization - SHADO - Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation, is the brainchild of Commander Ed Straker, who would take overall command of all operations with a high tech arsenal of machines and weaponry at his disposal.
