Directed by Charles Nyby with a script by Charles Lederer (Gentleman Prefer Blonds, Front Page, His Girl Friday) and it is based on short story Who Goes There by John W Campbell. The film reflects a post-Hiroshima scepticism about science and a negative view on scientists who meddle with things that should be left alone. The film was a surprise hit and would in later years be added to the Library Congress as a film that is culturally important. The film stars James Arness, , Margaret Sheldon, Kenneth Tobey and Robert Cornthwaite. This film is considered one of the best science fiction horror films of the 1950's.
