Nada, a down-on-his-luck construction worker, discovers a pair of special sunglasses. Wearing them, he is able to see the world as it really is: people being bombarded by media and government with messages like "Stay Asleep," "No Imagination," "Submit to Authority." Even scarier is that he is able to see that some usually normal-looking people are in fact ugly aliens in charge of the massive campaign to keep humans subdued.

Another cult classic that doesn't live up to the hype. The one positive is that it's a really great idea and the aliens look awesome. The dialogue is hilariously cheesy and Rodney Piper's acting caliber is about as much as a 5th grader. The story is gruelingly slow in the beginning. Characters reasoning are ridiculous and laughable.
