One night, the whole world looks to the sky to watch an extraordinary shower of green meteorites. The next morning, everyone has gone blind, except for the few people who, for one reason or another, didn’t watch the spectacle. Ransacking, epidemics, people fleeing the cities. But another mortal danger lurks in the parks and fields: the triffids, vegetables cultivated for food, have become gigantic, they walk and kill. Based on the great novel by John Wyndham, a B movie classic.
