You see them on the street. You watch them on TV. You might even vote for one this fall. You think they’re people just like you. You’re wrong. Dead wrong. John Carpenter’s They Live is back at The Frida Cinema!
When a down-on-his-luck drifter (wrestling legend Roddy Piper) finds a pair of sunglasses that reveal the hidden reality beneath our worlds, he decides it’s time to fight back. What follows is one of the most fun genre-blasting satire films of all time.
The ultimate Reagan-era gut punch, They Live is a sci-fi cult classic that hides anti-capitalist fury beneath its B-movie surface. Oh, and it also features one of the greatest fight scenes ever committed to celluloid!
