(Christian Nyby, Howard Hawks, US 1951, 87 min., 35mm)
When an unidentified object crashes in the Antarctic, a team of scientists and US Air Force personnel are dispatched to investigate. What they find in the ice is bigger than they ever anticipated: a flying saucer and a body. Incredibly strong, dangerous, and seemingly unstoppable, the thing comes alive in their compound and wreaks havoc on the outpost, while the crew members try desperately to keep their wits together in the subzero, secluded locale. Based on the novella Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell Jr., Nyby and Hawks’s sci-fi masterpiece continues to haunt audiences to this day.
