The sci-fi horror film directed by Philip Kaufman made its debut for public screening on December 22 (1978). San Franciscans discover through an alien revelation that emotionless duplicates of extra-terrestrial activities have taken over human populations. Brooke Adams collaborates with Donald Sutherland in the lead roles of the story. The film produced a frightening alien invasion story through a spooky atmosphere with disturbing paranoia and realistic effects combined to create a powerful effect. The movie shaped the direction of three key science fiction themes: identity exploration, fear perceptions, and unknown force control.
