Summary
A doctor in a small California town finds that his patients are becoming hysterical, accusing their loved ones to be emotionless imposters. Plant-like extraterrestrials have invaded Earth, replicating the villagers in giant seed "pods" and taking possession of their souls while they sleep. Realizing that the epidemic is out of control, in a terrifying race for his life, he escapes to warn the world of the deadly invasion of the pod people.
