Our Mission

The Thing

In 2009, a Norwegian research team in Antarctica discovers an alien spacecraft and a frozen extraterrestrial creature. Paleontologist Kate Lloyd is recruited to examine the find, but when the creature thaws and escapes, it reveals its ability to perfectly mimic other life forms after assimilating them. As the alien infiltrates the remote base, paranoia rapidly spreads among the dwindling crew, who struggle to identify who among them has been replaced. Kate deduces that the creature cannot mimic inorganic materials and devises a test, while she and pilot Sam Carter attempt to escape the facility and stop the shape-shifting entity from reaching civilization. After a desperate struggle, including destroying the spacecraft and confronting a grotesque multi-limbed form of the alien, Kate and Carter are the last apparent survivors. However, suspicion remains, leading to a final standoff that ensures the creature is contained, and two Norwegian helicopter pilots are later shown pursuing an alien-infected dog, setting the stage for the events of John Carpenter's 1982 film.
