“The Little People” is an episode of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Astronauts William Fletcher and Peter Craig--each of whom happens to be the chief thorn in the other's side--set down in a canyon on Venus to repair their ship. While scouting around, Craig finds a city populated by people no bigger than ants. He begins terrorizing the population by crushing their buildings, and he proclaims himself a god. Fletcher comes to inform him the repairs are done and they can depart, but Craig pulls a gun on him and orders Fletcher to leave alone; there's no room for two gods. Fletcher leaves disgustedly, and immediately another ship lands. Two spacemen, big as mountains, emerge. One of them picks Craig up and accidentally crushes him. The Little People rejoice at the death of their bullying "God."

  • The towering two spacemen are wearing uniforms from the MGM film Forbidden Planet.
