One of the greatest science fiction films ever made, Invasion of the Body Snatchers stars Kevin McCarthy (Death of A Salesman - 1952) as Miles Bennell, a doctor in a small California town whose patients are becoming increasingly overwrought, accusing their loved ones of being emotionless imposters. They're right! Plant-like aliens have invaded Earth, taking possession of humans as they sleep and replicating them in giant seed pods. Convinced that a catastrophic epidemic … mehris imminent, Bennell, in a terrifying race for his life, must warn the world of this deadly invasion of the pod people before it's too late.
