They Live

Dir. John Carpenter. 1988, 94 mins. 35mm. With “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Keith David, Meg Foster. A wanderer named Nada (Piper) stumbles upon a pair of sunglasses that reveals the horrifying true nature of the world: its sovereignty conquered by aliens, its color subdued, and humanity suppressed by subliminal messages. With little to no help, and even less resources, Nada takes the fight to the alien overlords in this thrilling sci-fi action cult classic from director John Carpenter.
