Summary
A drifter wandering Los Angeles in search of work stumbles upon a pair of special sunglasses that reveal a hidden reality: subliminal messages saturate the media and a ruling class of disguised aliens is quietly controlling humanity through consumerism and conformity. Teaming up with a reluctant ally, he joins a small underground resistance trying to expose the truth and dismantle the signal keeping everyone asleep.
They Live is a 1988 action, horror and science-fiction film.
453 IMDb reviewers are calibrated for this title, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 465 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 2,970 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,140 1980s films, not against the whole corpus.
