What 1982 John Carpenter film is set in a remote Antarctic station? The Thing is the answer.

The film follows a group of American researchers at an Antarctic station after they encounter an extraterrestrial organism capable of assimilating and perfectly imitating other life forms. Paranoia quickly spreads because no one can be certain whether a crewmate is still human. Kurt Russell plays helicopter pilot R. J. MacReady, who becomes one of the station’s central defenders.

Directed by John Carpenter from a screenplay by Bill Lancaster, The Thing is based on John W. Campbell Jr.’s 1938 novella Who Goes There? It is also related to The Thing from Another World, the 1951 film adaptation of that story, but Carpenter’s version is darker, more faithful to the idea of an alien imitator, and more focused on distrust within the research team.

The film was released in 1982 with practical creature effects designed to make the alien’s transformations grotesque and unpredictable. Its initial reception and box-office performance were disappointing, partly because it arrived soon after E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Home video and later critical reassessment transformed it into a highly regarded science-fiction horror classic.
