An economic crisis brings unemployed Nada (Roddy Piper) to L.A. in search of work. What he finds instead is that the ruling elite of the world are aliens in disguise, their aim being to keep humans in a state of mindless consumerism. His discovery comes when he dons a pair of special sunglasses made by a resistance group and sees for the first time reality unadorned. Billboards, store signs, magazine covers--all bear subliminal messages to OBEY, to CONSUME, to have NO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT. Money itself says THIS IS YOUR GOD. But worst of all, with these glasses you see which of us are really hideous, bug-eyed aliens. The conceptual breakthrough is hilarious while keeping its roots in darker matters. Although some fault the film for settling into its action plot, the ending has a great payoff. And the direction by John Carpenter is handled with superb workmanlike aplomb.

  • This is the longest fight scene LOL

  • that was an awesome fight scene !! sweeet. old skool.

  • What the fuck's so hard about putting on a pair of sunglasses? I mean it'd literally take less than 5 seconds to see that he's telling the truth.

  • Cripple Fight!

  • @MUSLIMSareCHOMOS Sorry, It's not quite that simple. Trying to dump it all on "America." Although many foreign entities and nations try to act innocent, but they are just as guilty, if not more involved. People like you are just fully anti-american, at any cost. A lot of these people have been slowly derailing the US, and weakening it daily... working against it. They are anti-americans, like yourself. MTV you say, they're part of the problem, and the lie. Not everything is so black and white.

  • The fight scene is a perfect metaphor of the truth movement and the way it's attacked. People just refuse to accept that they've been lied to for over 100 years. Or that the American government could be corrupt. Such a suggestion would be unpatriotic. Even unamerican.

    WAKE UP TO THE NWO BEFORE THEY PUT YOU IN A CONCENTRATION CAMP

    Even MTV has cryptically warned us about our Government planning to round us up.

  • YOU DIRTY MOTHEFUCKA!!!....... :O

  • this scene is funny

  • PUT THE Motha fuckin' glasses ON!!

    How to kill someones apathy?

  • Pretty good fight scene and all to just put on a pair of shades.
