A meteorite collides with the Earth and releases a virulent, flesh-eating, gelatinous monster that threatens to consume the population of a small American town. A couple of teenagers set out to warn the townsfolk of the danger they face, but nobody believes them until it is too late. Sci-fi horror, starring Steve McQueen and Aneta Corseaut. Burt Bacharach contributes the theme song.

A drive-in favorite, this sci-fi classic follows teenagers Steve and his best girl, Jane, as they try to protect their hometown from a gelatinous alien life form that engulfs everything it touches. The first to discover the substance and live to tell about it, Steve and Jane witness the blob destroying an elderly man, then it growing to a terrifying size. But no one else has seen the goo, and policeman Dave refuses to believe the kids without proof.
