The victims are literally reduced to the status of mere marionettes. The alien parasites latch on to a victim's back with a barbed tentacle and then insinuate themselves into the host's brain, thereby controlling people's actions, thoughts, desires, and so on. Once in Ambrose, they find that the town has been taken over by small, hook-clawed aliens, resembling nothing so much as self-propelled manta rays. Accompanying Stevens are his estranged son Sam (Thal) and Mary Sefton (Warner), a NASA biologist. Sutherland plays Andrew Stevens, an upper-echelon agent from the Office of Scientific Intelligence, who arrives in peaceful Ambrose, Iowa after reports of a mysterious UFO crash. Since the Treasury Department includes the Secret Service, which safeguards the President of the United States, control of the entire nation is near at hand.Despite having one of the best theatrical trailers of the year, The Puppet Masters falls short of its sci-fi/horror pretensions and ends up as listless and bloated as one of its dead alien visitors. And he has just learned that a high official in the Treasury Department is now under control of the aliens. Unfortunately, that was just before he was taken over by one of the aliens and began working for the invaders, with no will of his own. Sam Cavanaugh was one of the agents who discovered the truth. And most of Iowa is already under their control. What the slugs want, no matter what, the human will do. So the head of the agency and his two top agents went in and managed to get out with their discovery: an invasion is underway by slug-like aliens who can touch a human and completely control his or her mind. Then four more follow up agents also disappeared. government were on the scene and disappeared without reporting back. Case closed.Įxcept that two agents of the most secret intelligence agency in the U.S.
Then came the announcement that the whole thing was a hoax.
First came the news that a flying saucer had landed in Iowa.
