Info About The Movie:

The Thing (also known as John Carpenter's The Thing) is a 1982 science fiction horror film directed by John Carpenter, written by Bill Lancaster, and starring Kurt Russell. The film's title refers to its primary antagonist: a parasitic extraterrestrial lifeform that assimilates other organisms and in turn imitates them. The Thing infiltrates an Antarctic research station, taking the appearance of the researchers that it kills, and paranoia occurs within the group.
Ostensibly a remake of the 1951 Howard Hawks-Christian Nyby film The Thing from Another World, Carpenter's film is in fact an adaptation more faithful in its premise and characters to the novella Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell, Jr. which inspired the 1951 film, and not a remake in the conventional sense.^[1] Carpenter considers The Thing to be the first part of his Apocalypse Trilogy,^[2] followed by Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness. Although the films are unrelated, each features a potentially apocalyptic scenario; should "The Thing" ever reach civilization, it would be only a matter of time before it consumes humanity and takes over the Earth.
On June 25, 1982, The Thing opened #8 in 840 theatres and remained in the top ten box office movies for three weeks.^[3] The lower-than-expected performance has been attributed to many factors, including Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which was released at the same time and features a more optimistic view of alien visitation.^[4][5][6][7] However, The Thing has gone on to gain a cult following with the release on home video. The film was subsequently 'novelized' in 1982; adapted into a comic book miniseries in 1991 and published by Dark Horse Comics titled, The Thing From Another World; a 2002 video game sequel titled The Thing; and a prequel film with the same title, released on October 14, 2011.

Plot

An American Antarctic research team is alerted by gunfire as an Alaskan Malamute running toward the station is shot at by a Norwegian helicopter. After they land, a thermite charge accidentally destroys the helicopter and kills the pilot, but the rifleman grazes Bennings and keeps firing at the dog until he is killed by Garry, the station commander. Helicopter pilot R.J. MacReady and Dr. Copper fly to the Norwegian camp for answers, but find a burned ruin, with the body of a man who committed suicide and a large block of ice with a hollowed cavity. Outside the camp, they discover the burned remains of a mangled humanoid corpse with two faces. They bring the body back for an autopsy, but all Blair can determine is that the creature's body contains a set of human internal organs.
Clark kennels the Malamute with the rest of the station's sled dogs; they recognize it as an alien before it mutates and assaults the dogs. MacReady hears the fight and hits the fire alarm, calling for a flamethrower, which Childs uses to destroy the creature. When Blair's autopsy reveals that the creature was able to imitate other beings, he suspects that anyone could be replaced by the creature and begins withdrawing from the others. MacReady, Norris and Palmer investigate a site where the Norwegians had been working and discover a massive crater with a flying saucer in it.
Bennings is attacked by the remains of the dead dog, but is cornered by the team and burned before he can escape; they incinerate the rest of the creature's remains. Blair calculates that the creature will assimilate the entire planet within three years if it ever reaches civilization; he destroys the helicopter and radio after killing the remaining sled dogs. The team corners him and locks him in the tool shed, determined to find out who is infected. Before they can do the blood tests Copper recommends, they learn that the blood stores have been sabotaged. Fuchs warns them not to share their food and drink. MacReady puts Garry, Copper and Clark into isolation and orders Fuchs to continue Blair's work, but he disappears when the power goes out. With a storm closing in the team continues searching until Nauls finds MacReady's torn clothing and cuts MacReady loose from the tow line, assuming he has been assimilated. While the team debates MacReady's fate, he breaks in and threatens to blow the station if they try anything, and Norris suffers a heart attack.
Copper tries reviving Norris, but his chest gapes and closes, severing Copper's arms, revealing Norris as an alien. MacReady burns the alien and orders everyone tied up for a new test. Clark tries stabbing MacReady, but is shot and killed. MacReady explains his theory that every drop of the alien is an organism with its own survival instinct that will react defensively, and one by one he tests everyone's blood. MacReady, Nauls, Childs, Garry and Windows are human, but Palmer's blood reacts; he mutates and attacks Windows before MacReady can burn him. MacReady is forced to incinerate Windows as well.
Leaving Childs on guard, the rest head out to test Blair, only to find that he has tunneled under the tool shed. They realize Blair is an alien, and he scavenged the equipment he appeared to destroy to build a small craft. They see Childs run outside just before the camp loses power, and MacReady concludes that the alien intends to freeze itself until a rescue team arrives in the spring. They decide to dynamite the complex, hoping to force the alien out in the open, but Garry is killed and Nauls disappears. As MacReady finishes setting explosives, Blair transforms into a larger monster, demolishing the generator room and taking the detonator. MacReady escapes and blows up the base and the monster. Stumbling through the burning ruins with a bottle of scotch, MacReady finds Childs, who claims he got lost in the storm while pursuing Blair. With the storm closing in and without the energy to test which of them is human, they acknowledge the futility of their situation, and sit down to share the bottle as the camp burns.
