About this piece
This is a production used storyboard from the 1996 film Mars Attacks!, starring Jack Nicholson as President James Dale. These were used by the production team for post production VFX work.

This three-panel storyboard page covers shots 1, 2A, and 2B depicting a Martian flying saucer blasting the Washington Monument as panicked crowds scatter below, followed by a split-panel sequence showing the monument cracking apart — with the word "CRACK!" illustrated for emphasis. It's page 1 of 4, marked for Warner Bros. Digital Studio.

The storyboard ships in a clear sheet protector, packed with protective padding inside a rigid cardboard envelope, and boxed in an oversize outer box via USPS Priority Mail. It is accompanied by a custom certificate of authenticity featuring a color photo of your specific piece, holographic and embossed anti-copy seals, a counterfeit-resistant background, and full production and item details — all housed in a rigid protective case.

Please note: while this is a genuine production used piece — distributed and utilized during the making of the film — it is not the hand-drawn original artwork. Production copies of the original were made and issued to directors, editors, and special effects staff for use on set. This is one of those copies.
