The story takes place in the isolated Antarctic scientific expedition base camp. A group of Norwegian scientists discovered an alien spacecraft buried deep in ice. In the process of thawing and melting the spacecraft, the alien creatures in the spacecraft were revived. This creature that can imitate and transform becomes a lethal creature. threat. So they had to destroy this unknown creature.
The difference from the novel is that the film begins when a Norwegian scientific examiner drives a helicopter to chase and hunt an Antarctic Husky all the way to a camp in the United States. The crazy hunting behavior of the Norwegians puzzled the American scientific researchers. After repeated failures to communicate with the outside world, camp pilot Mick Reddy (MacReady, Kurt Russell) and the camp doctor went to a nearby Norwegian camp to find out. The two found a very strange-looking biological corpse there and brought it back to the camp for autopsy research. At the same time, the camp dog breeder Clark (played by Richard Masur) accidentally discovered that the new Eskimo dog was alienated into a monster, and almost all the dogs in the camp kennel were killed. After the campers wiped out the thing with a flamethrower.
Bennings and Windows put the bodies of alien dogs and Norwegians in the storage room for isolation, but when Windows turned around and returned to the storage room, they found that Bennings was being copied and alienated. At this time, the members of the camp realized that this alien creature can imitate and alienate into any creature-sled dogs, and even humans. What's even more frightening is that almost everyone is likely to come into contact with and be alienated from creatures on this alien planet.
In the process of searching for a camper, Mick Reddy was suspected by others and was locked out of the harsh and cold house by Childs. But in the end Mick managed to enter the storage room and threatened others to blow up everyone if they didn't obey his command. When the stalemate was in stalemate, Norris had a heart attack, and the camp doctor immediately performed CPR on him. Unexpectedly, Norris has been copied and alienated and killed the doctor. After eliminating it, Mick suggested taking blood samples from everyone to detect and identify whether it was copied and alienated.
After another battle, finally Mick and Childs finally dispelled their previous doubts, sitting in front of the camp, and making peace with each other.
The story of this film is very strong, and the shooting technique is also remarkable. So that IMDB and Rotten Tomato gave high scores of 8.1 and 76% respectively, and ranked 173rd among IMDB's audience member voting rankings ("Terminator" ranked 180th http://www.imdb.com/chart /top?tt0084787 ).
