A drifter becomes aware of a dark, secret conspiracy just below the surface of society.
Another 80s cult favorite I'd never seen before, probably putting me in a minority of one. Mostly this was an entertaining if clunky sci-fi actioner with a message. I have to admit I was falling asleep towards the end, which isn't the best sign. It would probably have been a lot of fun to watch this in the theater when it first came out, but the intervening years, and the small screen, weren't kind.

I always loved this dumb movie. Roddy Piper is a one-of-a-kind dude.
What stands out in my mind is that fight scene that goes on forever.
Ha, that was on deep late night cable replay a lot this summer. I tried getting into it a few times, but could never stick with it.
A lot of John Carpenter's flicks have this junky feel to them. It makes it hard for me to get into them because I can't see a global alien conspiracy being taken down by some scrubs out in nowhereland.
Still, the scene where he puts those shades on the first time is a sci-fi classic.
