Center
Primary
The film's central conflict critiques human xenophobia and irrational fear of the unknown, advocating for understanding and non-aggression as a solution to perceived threats from 'the other.'
This 1953 science fiction film features a predominantly white cast, consistent with the era, and does not include any intentional race or gender swaps of traditional roles. The narrative focuses on human reactions to extraterrestrial life, without critiquing traditional identities or incorporating explicit diversity, equity, and inclusion themes.
Secondary
The film 'It Came from Outer Space' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is entirely centered on a science fiction plot involving alien contact and human reactions, with no elements that touch upon queer identity or experiences.
The film "It Came from Outer Space" (1953) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on alien visitation, xenophobia, and human-alien interaction, without addressing gender identity or related topics.

The film adapts Ray Bradbury's short story 'The Meteor.' All major characters, including John Putnam and Ellen Fields, retain their established genders from the source material. The shapeshifting aliens do not have a defined canonical gender to be swapped.
The film features original characters created for the screen, not adaptations of pre-existing characters with established racial identities from source material or prior installments. No historical figures are depicted. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
