15 Ordinary Items Disguised and Transformed Into Extraordinary Movie Props

The characters, the items used, all that phenomena like extraterrestrial lifeforms, alien worlds, extrasensory perception, and time travel, along with futuristic elements such as spacecraft or robots, make us believe in another dimensional universe.

Everything looks so unreal until you look closely and notice that a lot of these items used to make these movies great are actually things that are lying around our house.
