The Thing From Another World
1951 1 hr 27 min
Researchers at an Arctic research station discover a block of ice that harbors an alien entity. When the body is unintentionally thawed, the scientists find themselves at the mercy of this malevolent being. Drawing inspiration from the 1938 short story 'Who Goes There?', THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD played a pivotal role in launching the '50s sci-fi wave of alien terror on the big screen! This film is particularly significant as it marks Howard Hawks' sole venture into the science fiction genre and inspired one of the most acclaimed remakes in film history, The Thing (1982).
