Where did it come from? And what does it want?

Ned Scott is a reporter banging around Alaska, looking for a story. When he meets Captain Patrick Hendry and his flight crew, he joins them on a trip to an arctic research base where numerous scientists are camped. It seems their scientific gear has detected the crash of an unknown aircraft - and Hendry and his men have been sent to investigate.

Before a gathering storm overcomes them all, they discover that the downed aircraft is actually a flying saucer from outer space, buried in the ice. In their attempts to uncover it, the craft is accidentally destroyed, but the body of a single alien visitor is found intact and brought back to the base.

At the research facility, the creature is accidentally thawed and escapes. The scientists want to try communicating with the alien, while Captain Hendry has a much more pragmatic approach – take caution! Soon enough the creature’s intentions are made known and the deaths begin. The race is on to see who will survive – the trapped humans or The Thing From Another World?
The Thing from Another World, appropriately abridged and known more commonly as The Thing, is one of the seminal 1950s creature feature films that paved the bridge between the horror and science fiction genres. Filmed in Montana's Glacier National Park and an ice storage plant in Los Angeles, The Thing launched the 1950s onslaught of alien invader science fiction classics including War of the Worlds and the cultish Invaders from Mars. The Thing also established the chilling, claustrophobic tone for later sci-fi horror classics such as Alien, and of course, John Carpenter's faithful remake, The Thing.
