The first remake of the paranoid infiltration classic moves the setting for the
invasion from a small town to the city of San Fransisco and starts as
Matthew Bennell notices that several of his friends are complaining that their
close relatives are in some way different. When questioned later they
themselves seem changed as they deny everything or make lame excuses.
As the invaders increase in number they become more open and Bennell,
who has by now witnessed an attempted "replacement" realises that he and
his friends must escape or suffer the same fate. But who can he trust to help
him and who has already been snatched?
