Feast your eyes on this stunning new restoration of John Carpenter's 1988 classic THEY LIVE. WWF wrestler 'Rowdy' Roddy Pipper plays John Nada, a homeless, unemployed construction worker who discovers a pair of sunglasses that when worn, suddenly reveal a world run by capitalist, yuppie aliens intent on keeping the human race sedate and brainwashed with subliminal messages fed through advertising and the media. Luckily for us, Nada is a man of action and so begins the fight-back to save humankind.
