Discover the true nature

In this action-horror film by John Carpenter, you follow Nada (Roddy Piper), an unemployed man in Los Angeles. The economy is bad and jobs are scarce. One day, he gets his hands on a mysterious pair of sunglasses. These glasses open his eyes to reality: aliens are living undetected among humanity and have taken control.

Fight against aliens

The sunglasses turn out to belong to a resistance group led by Frank (Keith David). They are aware of the alien presence and are fighting back in secret. Nada joins the group and becomes embroiled in a thrilling battle to liberate humanity. However, the aliens realize they have been exposed and strike back mercilessly.

A socially critical film

They Live is more than just a science fiction film. It is a socially critical story about consumerism, media, and hidden manipulation. John Carpenter creates an oppressive atmosphere in which the line between reality and illusion blurs. This film makes you think about what is happening beneath the surface.
