Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops: ~Angel Wings~ | Main article: Doraemon: Nobita and the Steel Troops § Plot
The movie's plot involves Nobita, who throws a temper tantrum because he wants a really large RC toy robot in order to upstage the rich kid, Suneo, who has been showing off the new robot that his cousin made. His fit makes Doraemon angry and he uses his Anywhere Door to get anyway from the summer heat cool off at the North Pole. Sometime later, Nobita follows and a discovers a strange bowling ball-like orb which starts blinking with a pulsating light, and summons what looks like a giant robot´s foot. After Nobita uses the foot to sled down, crashing into his room through the Anywhere Door, the bowling ball follows him home through the door and another robot piece falls into his backyard. A frozen Doraemon follows soon after, covered in ice before being thawed out and with a cold. Learning of the robot parts, Doraemon admits to Nobita that he has nothing to do with it as the two use the Opposite World Entrance Oil and the Roll-Up Fishing Hole to enter the World Inside the Mirror, an alternate mirror world without people. There, they built the robot which Nobita christens the name "Zanda Claus" as he believed the sphere summoning the parts is from Santa Claus.
Using a brain wave controller that Doraemon pulls out of his pocket, Nobita has the robot perform gymnastic maneuvers in a mirror world before bringing Shizuka Minamoto to join the fun. The trio enjoy but later however, Shizuka accidentally presses a button on the control panel that makes the robot fire a huge laser beam that destroys a whole skyscraper. The group realizes just how dangerous Zanda Claus really is, and they decide to return to the real world and forget about ever having found the robot. However, Nobita forgot about the sphere that has been sending telepathic messages to a mysterious girl named Lilulu. The actual owner of Zanda Claus, Lilulu seeks out Nobita when he accidentally lets slip all that he knows about the robot. After Lilulu proceeds to force him into showing her where it is, Nobita borrows the Roll-Up Fishing Hole from the spare pocket Doraemon keeps in the closet to take her to the World Inside the Mirror. She reclaims Zanda Claus while getting Nobita to let her borrow the Roll-Up Fishing Hole for a while.
After some time, Nobita is visibly nervous about what she is up to and, after seeing two shooting stars in a row, he uses the Bamboo Copter to investigate the forest at Mt. Ura. There, Nobita follows another shooting star through the unrolled Roll-Up Fishing Hole and finds Lilulu building a massive robot army. Doraemon, having been suspicious of Nobita's peculiar behavior at home and having follows him there. They enter the mirror world and see a massive base being built by humanoid robots. The duo then use a long-range Paper Cup Phone to listen in on Lilulu as she orders the robots to work faster. She is revealed to be a human-hating robot. When Lilulu discovers them, Nobita and Doraemon escape to their own world with the portal accidentally destroyed by Zanda Claus.
But the two have completely forgot about the sphere that is still at home, before it suddenly wakes out and bounces around. After Doraemon puts Translation Jelly, the sphere introduces itself as the 'brain' of Zanda Claus, while alerting him about a giant robot army that intends to conquer Earth and enslave all humanity. They try to alert the authorities but in vain as none of them believes Doraemon or Nobita. With only Suneo and Gian believing him and Nobita about the robot army, Doraemon pulls out a special kind of incubator and puts the sphere with the Translation Jelly in it, causing it to hatch into a yellow chick that is named "Pippo" (one of the onomatopoeias to describe the sound a peep makes in Japanese).
They reenter the Mirror World through Shizuka's Bathtub by using a special oil but leave Shizuka out of the mission due the risky nature of the mission. But they are captured by the robot army with only Pippo and Nobita escaping. Nobita decides to help his friends and thus goes to the base to rescue them. At the base they see the robot army disposing off Zanda Claus who's actual name is revealed to be Judo. Pippo enters Zanda Claus and creates a distraction and Nobita rescues his friends. Meanwhile, Shizuka comes to know off the Mirror World and enters it. She finds a girl (Lilulu) who is injured and takes her home. Later Nobita, Doraemon, Nobita, Suneo and Pippo rejoin with Shizuka. Shizuka uses Doraemon's machine first aid kit to repair Lilulu.
This helps the gang gain Pipo's trust Nobita becomes good friends with Pippo. Lilulu had some traumatic experiences as a child, and she holds a very deep distrust and resentment towards humans. The only individual with whom she feels connected to is Pippo, whom she fixed "on a whim" after he was broken by the other robots. Despite everything Nobita and the others do for her,Lilulu escape and decides to alert the rest of the Robot Army that they are in a Mirror World and not the real Earth. The gang locates her before the meet and Nobita tries to stop her but Lilulu shoots Nobita with a laser beam from her finger. Pippo jumps in front of Nobita and becomes very badly injured, which gives Lilulu a wake-up call as she decides to help the humans while not disclosing the reason for the lack of people.
However, the commander and the rest of the robot army chain her up for her heresy and proceed to torture her for what she knows. Luckily, Nobita, Doraemon, and the others arrive with Zanda Claus and rescue her. Back in the real world, Lilulu still feels conflicted as her willing allows Doraemon lock her up in a birdcage using the Small Light.
In the meantime, the robot army becomes suspicious because of the lack of humans in the world. They discover that they are in a fake world after analyzing the satellite image of the world and comparing the image to another image of the current world, and seeing how they are reversed. They return to the lake where they first entered the fake world, which they believe is the connection doorway. Doraemon and the group intercept the army at the lake.
Lilulu and Shizuka remain at Shizuka's house to have a talk, which gives Shizuka a brilliant idea to save the world. She re-enlarges Lilulu, using the Enlarging Torch Light, and they both use the Walk-In Mirror to return to the real world. Using the time machine, they return to 30,000 years ago on Megatopia, attempting to talk to the professor who created the robots from which the robot army is descended. The professor plans to redo everything by removing the competition instinct from his robots, replacing those instincts with instincts of humanity and love. He collapses before he can finish his job. Lilulu, in order to complete the salvation, disregards the fact that she and Pippo will disappear after they alter history, and she continues the reprogramming with instructions from the professor.
Back on Earth in the present time, the robot army, larger in number, has taken the upper hand. Zanda Claus is heavily damaged in the process of destroying the leading ship of the robot army. Lilulu, back at Megatopia, has nearly finished her job when the professor breathes his last. At first, she doesn't know what to do, then she figures out that she needs only to add her feelings, her love from Nobita and his friends, including Pippo. The job is completed just in time. The robot army is reinforced and attacks en masse. The reprogramming is successfully completed, and the robot army is completely erased, as are Lilulu and Pippo. Shizuka uses the Anywhere Door to return to Earth, rejoining her friends with sorrow.
The next day, the group is back in the real world, and Nobita is back in school. This time, he chooses to stay, and Doraemon arrives to talk to him before going to the baseball field. While Nobita wonders if Lilulu and Pippo may ever be resurrected, a shadow crosses his eyes and Lilulu appears with wings on her back. The wings take the appearance of Pippo in the form of a giant Phoenix. They visit Nobita with cheers, then vanish once again into the air. Nobita believes it was Lilulu and Pippo who appeared, and he runs to the field to tell his friends. | Whose actual name is revealed to be Judo? | Zanda Claus | 1,159 | 1,170 |

The Brain Eaters | We open at night on the deserted streets of a small town. The narrator tells us, "A few weeks ago Riverdale, Illinois was just another quiet, small town. Then on that Saturday, shortly after midnight a living nightmare began." A man (an uncredited Hampton Fancher) carrying a lighted basketball sized glass container bumps into a pedestrian and the container is broken. A fight ensues and a hissing sound is heard. Title and credits follow.A car, a 1956 Thunderbird, approaches. The narrator continues his story, "On Sunday, about an hour before nightfall, my fiancée and I were returning from a trip to her family's home in the country. Our wedding date was set. Everything was right with the world. We were on the way back to town to tell the good news to my father." The driver, Glenn Cameron (Alan Jay Factor as Alan Frost) and passenger, Elaine Cameron (Jody Fair) are distracted by the flash of a bright light. They stop to investigate in the nearby woods. They find three animals, "All of them, dead." They continue to walk and to their shock spot a large, cone shaped metal structure.Two days later in Washington, D.C. a UFO committee reviews classified Army footage of the object. Senator Walter K. Powers (Cornelius Keefe as Jack Hill) and his assistant Dan Walker (Robert Ball) arrive late for the briefing. We learn that the object stands fifty feet high with a base diameter of fifty feet. The nature and origin of the cone is unknown. Dr. Paul Kettering (Ed Nelson as Edwin Nelson) is the chief investigator. Also noted is the coincidental slaying of several people in the nearby town. The Senator and his assistant fly to Riverdale to investigate first hand. They are met by Glenn who explains that his father, the Mayor, is missing. The three dive out to the site of the object. Alice Summers (Joanna Lee) is introduced. She is the Mayor's secretary, but she is assisting Dr. Kettering by recording test results on the object. The Senator climbs the scaffolding to question Kettering and his assistant, Dr. Wyler (David Hughes) on progress. Kettering explains that the object seems to be indestructible. He shoots a gun into the opening of the object and the bullet ricochets around and exits through the opening. Kettering crawls inside the object and explores. Sometime later, Dr. Wyler prepares to go inside as Kettering finally crawls out. A call to the site informs them that the Mayor has returned.At his desk, Mayor Cameron (Orville Sherman) struggles as if possessed. He takes a gun from his desk drawer and fights to put the gun to his head. Kettering, the Senator, Alice and Glenn arrive at Town Hall. The Mayor acts very strangely. He is hostile and angry, even towards his own son. Kettering notices a strange, pulsating lump under the Mayor's jacket near his neck. The Mayor pulls a gun on the group. Kettering asks about the lump on his neck. The Mayor strikes his son trying to flee the room. As he does, Kettering strikes the Mayor who discharges several shots from the revolver. He is shot and killed by a deputy in the hall way just outside his office.An autopsy on the body reveals something strange. The doctor (Doug Banks) and Kettering reveal the creature injected an acid into the Mayors nervous system. Even without the shooting death, he would have died within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.The Sheriff (Greigh Phillips) drives back out to the object. On the way he encounters a man lying on the road. He gets out of his patrol car to investigate. He is attacked by the man. Another man, holding a lighted container, watches the fight. He sheriff is knocked out and the two men infect him with the contents of the container. The sheriff is revived and the three drive off in the patrol car.Alice and Paul Kettering are working in the lab. He is experimenting with a piece of the creature taken from the Mayor. The parasite crawls toward Paul and attaches itself to his arm. He is able to free himself burning it with the Bunsen burner. Wyler calls Kettering at the lab. They drive out to the object. Glenn and Paul discover an electric utility truck which has been abandoned just off the road. Wyler has a theory. The object is an empty fuel section of a much larger object. A call to the Sheriff from the Senator goes unanswered. The sheriff struggles with his possession. Three groups are organized to search for other parts of the object. Paul and Alice find the body of the power company man. He has two puncture wounds on his neck. Glenn and Elaine are locked into a cabin on their search. Someone tries to burn the cabin down. Glenn shoots at the arsonist and he and his fiancée escape. The three groups reassemble at the Mayor's office. They discover two containers of parasites. The Senator calls the telegraph office to send a message to the Governor. The telegrapher (Henry Randolph) takes the message, but as he is also possessed, he sends the wrong message.A car with three men drive up to Alice's apartment building. One climbs upstairs with a parasite and plants it in her room. She is possessed and joins the three men in their car. She is still wearing her nightgown. Paul and Glenn break into her room and discover she is missing. They drive back out to the object and discover the body of a dying man they recognize as Professor Helsingman (Saul Bronson). He, along with a scientific expedition team, vanished five years earlier. They discover the marks on his neck and take the professor to a hospital. Kettering questions the professor in his room. The only word uttered is Carboniferous, a geological Period about 200,000,000 years ago. Senator Powers tries to make several telephone calls, but is consistently told that the lines are busy. Glenn and Paul go to the telegraph office to question the man about the message to the Governor's Office. They are attacked, but manage to subdue their assailants and flee in the car. The Senator's radio broadcast is also sabotaged.Kettering climbs up the scaffolding to check on his equipment. He discovers the two deputies on guard are possessed. They are both shot and killed. Kettering and Glenn enter the cone and discover a mist filled room. They are greeted by another member of the missing expedition, Professor Cole (Leonard Nimoy). The old, bearded figure tells Kettering he was Professor Cole. He explains, "Now I hold a position of a much higher order." He provides details of their invasion plan and adds, "We shall force upon man a life free from strife and turmoil. Ironic that man should obtain his long sought utopia as a gift, rather than as something earned." Kettering shoots and kills the lurking Sheriff. Cole disappears and the parasites chase the pair out of the cone.Kettering formulates a plan utilizing the contents of the power company truck. He intends to connect a line from one end of the ravine to the other. He intends to use the cone as a ground. Another wire will be shot onto the wires of a very high voltage transmission line. Before Kettering can complete his plan, Alice appears on top of the scaffolding next to the cone. Paul walks back to the scaffolding to talk to Alice. He climbs the scaffolding to rescue the possessed Alice. She pulls a gun at shoots at Paul. Glenn fires the harpoon gun and the electrical connection is made. The cone is engulfed in sparks. Alice faints and the parasites inside are killed. The Senator and Glenn go inside to verify the menace is eliminated. Glenn and Elaine embrace. We close with a shot of the couple walking away and a slow pan up of the object and scaffolding. | How many men drive to Alice's apartment building? | three | 973 | 978 |

One climbs upstairs with a parasite and plants it in her room. She is possessed and joins the three men in their car. She is still wearing her nightgown. Paul and Glenn break into her room and discover she is missing. They drive back out to the object and discover the body of a dying man they recognize as Professor Helsingman (Saul Bronson). He, along with a scientific expedition team, vanished five years earlier. They discover the marks on his neck and take the professor to a hospital. Kettering questions the professor in his room. The only word uttered is Carboniferous, a geological Period about 200,000,000 years ago. Senator Powers tries to make several telephone calls, but is consistently told that the lines are busy. Glenn and Paul go to the telegraph office to question the man about the message to the Governor's Office. They are attacked, but manage to subdue their assailants and flee in the car. The Senator's radio broadcast is also sabotaged.Kettering climbs up the scaffolding to check on his equipment. He discovers the two deputies on guard are possessed. They are both shot and killed. Kettering and Glenn enter the cone and discover a mist filled room. They are greeted by another member of the missing expedition, Professor Cole (Leonard Nimoy). The old, bearded figure tells Kettering he was Professor Cole. He explains, "Now I hold a position of a much higher order." He provides details of their invasion plan and adds, "We shall force upon man a life free from strife and turmoil. Ironic that man should obtain his long sought utopia as a gift, rather than as something earned." Kettering shoots and kills the lurking Sheriff. Cole disappears and the parasites chase the pair out of the cone.Kettering formulates a plan utilizing the contents of the power company truck. He intends to connect a line from one end of the ravine to the other. He intends to use the cone as a ground. Another wire will be shot onto the wires of a very high voltage transmission line. Before Kettering can complete his plan, Alice appears on top of the scaffolding next to the cone. Paul walks back to the scaffolding to talk to Alice. He climbs the scaffolding to rescue the possessed Alice. She pulls a gun at shoots at Paul. Glenn fires the harpoon gun and the electrical connection is made. The cone is engulfed in sparks. Alice faints and the parasites inside are killed. The Senator and Glenn go inside to verify the menace is eliminated. Glenn and Elaine embrace. We close with a shot of the couple walking away and a slow pan up of the object and scaffolding. | What distracted the driver and made him stop? | Bright light | 903 | 915 |
The Brain Eaters | We open at night on the deserted streets of a small town. The narrator tells us, "A few weeks ago Riverdale, Illinois was just another quiet, small town. Then on that Saturday, shortly after midnight a living nightmare began." A man (an uncredited Hampton Fancher) carrying a lighted basketball sized glass container bumps into a pedestrian and the container is broken. A fight ensues and a hissing sound is heard. Title and credits follow.A car, a 1956 Thunderbird, approaches. The narrator continues his story, "On Sunday, about an hour before nightfall, my fiancée and I were returning from a trip to her family's home in the country. Our wedding date was set. Everything was right with the world. We were on the way back to town to tell the good news to my father." The driver, Glenn Cameron (Alan Jay Factor as Alan Frost) and passenger, Elaine Cameron (Jody Fair) are distracted by the flash of a bright light. They stop to investigate in the nearby woods. They find three animals, "All of them, dead." They continue to walk and to their shock spot a large, cone shaped metal structure.Two days later in Washington, D.C. a UFO committee reviews classified Army footage of the object. Senator Walter K. Powers (Cornelius Keefe as Jack Hill) and his assistant Dan Walker (Robert Ball) arrive late for the briefing. We learn that the object stands fifty feet high with a base diameter of fifty feet. The nature and origin of the cone is unknown. Dr. Paul Kettering (Ed Nelson as Edwin Nelson) is the chief investigator. Also noted is the coincidental slaying of several people in the nearby town. The Senator and his assistant fly to Riverdale to investigate first hand. They are met by Glenn who explains that his father, the Mayor, is missing. The three dive out to the site of the object. Alice Summers (Joanna Lee) is introduced. She is the Mayor's secretary, but she is assisting Dr. Kettering by recording test results on the object. The Senator climbs the scaffolding to question Kettering and his assistant, Dr. Wyler (David Hughes) on progress. Kettering explains that the object seems to be indestructible. He shoots a gun into the opening of the object and the bullet ricochets around and exits through the opening. Kettering crawls inside the object and explores. Sometime later, Dr. Wyler prepares to go inside as Kettering finally crawls out. A call to the site informs them that the Mayor has returned.At his desk, Mayor Cameron (Orville Sherman) struggles as if possessed. He takes a gun from his desk drawer and fights to put the gun to his head. Kettering, the Senator, Alice and Glenn arrive at Town Hall. The Mayor acts very strangely. He is hostile and angry, even towards his own son. Kettering notices a strange, pulsating lump under the Mayor's jacket near his neck. The Mayor pulls a gun on the group. Kettering asks about the lump on his neck. The Mayor strikes his son trying to flee the room. As he does, Kettering strikes the Mayor who discharges several shots from the revolver. He is shot and killed by a deputy in the hall way just outside his office.An autopsy on the body reveals something strange. The doctor (Doug Banks) and Kettering reveal the creature injected an acid into the Mayors nervous system. Even without the shooting death, he would have died within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.The Sheriff (Greigh Phillips) drives back out to the object. On the way he encounters a man lying on the road. He gets out of his patrol car to investigate. He is attacked by the man. Another man, holding a lighted container, watches the fight. He sheriff is knocked out and the two men infect him with the contents of the container. The sheriff is revived and the three drive off in the patrol car.Alice and Paul Kettering are working in the lab. He is experimenting with a piece of the creature taken from the Mayor. The parasite crawls toward Paul and attaches itself to his arm. He is able to free himself burning it with the Bunsen burner. Wyler calls Kettering at the lab. They drive out to the object. Glenn and Paul discover an electric utility truck which has been abandoned just off the road. Wyler has a theory. The object is an empty fuel section of a much larger object. A call to the Sheriff from the Senator goes unanswered. The sheriff struggles with his possession. Three groups are organized to search for other parts of the object. Paul and Alice find the body of the power company man. He has two puncture wounds on his neck. Glenn and Elaine are locked into a cabin on their search. Someone tries to burn the cabin down. Glenn shoots at the arsonist and he and his fiancée escape. The three groups reassemble at the Mayor's office. They discover two containers of parasites.

He is hostile and angry, even towards his own son. Kettering notices a strange, pulsating lump under the Mayor's jacket near his neck. The Mayor pulls a gun on the group. Kettering asks about the lump on his neck. The Mayor strikes his son trying to flee the room. As he does, Kettering strikes the Mayor who discharges several shots from the revolver. He is shot and killed by a deputy in the hall way just outside his office.An autopsy on the body reveals something strange. The doctor (Doug Banks) and Kettering reveal the creature injected an acid into the Mayors nervous system. Even without the shooting death, he would have died within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.The Sheriff (Greigh Phillips) drives back out to the object. On the way he encounters a man lying on the road. He gets out of his patrol car to investigate. He is attacked by the man. Another man, holding a lighted container, watches the fight. He sheriff is knocked out and the two men infect him with the contents of the container. The sheriff is revived and the three drive off in the patrol car.Alice and Paul Kettering are working in the lab. He is experimenting with a piece of the creature taken from the Mayor. The parasite crawls toward Paul and attaches itself to his arm. He is able to free himself burning it with the Bunsen burner. Wyler calls Kettering at the lab. They drive out to the object. Glenn and Paul discover an electric utility truck which has been abandoned just off the road. Wyler has a theory. The object is an empty fuel section of a much larger object. A call to the Sheriff from the Senator goes unanswered. The sheriff struggles with his possession. Three groups are organized to search for other parts of the object. Paul and Alice find the body of the power company man. He has two puncture wounds on his neck. Glenn and Elaine are locked into a cabin on their search. Someone tries to burn the cabin down. Glenn shoots at the arsonist and he and his fiancée escape. The three groups reassemble at the Mayor's office. They discover two containers of parasites. The Senator calls the telegraph office to send a message to the Governor. The telegrapher (Henry Randolph) takes the message, but as he is also possessed, he sends the wrong message.A car with three men drive up to Alice's apartment building. One climbs upstairs with a parasite and plants it in her room. She is possessed and joins the three men in their car. She is still wearing her nightgown. Paul and Glenn break into her room and discover she is missing. They drive back out to the object and discover the body of a dying man they recognize as Professor Helsingman (Saul Bronson). He, along with a scientific expedition team, vanished five years earlier. They discover the marks on his neck and take the professor to a hospital. Kettering questions the professor in his room. The only word uttered is Carboniferous, a geological Period about 200,000,000 years ago. Senator Powers tries to make several telephone calls, but is consistently told that the lines are busy. Glenn and Paul go to the telegraph office to question the man about the message to the Governor's Office. They are attacked, but manage to subdue their assailants and flee in the car. The Senator's radio broadcast is also sabotaged.Kettering climbs up the scaffolding to check on his equipment. He discovers the two deputies on guard are possessed. They are both shot and killed. Kettering and Glenn enter the cone and discover a mist filled room. They are greeted by another member of the missing expedition, Professor Cole (Leonard Nimoy). The old, bearded figure tells Kettering he was Professor Cole. He explains, "Now I hold a position of a much higher order." He provides details of their invasion plan and adds, "We shall force upon man a life free from strife and turmoil. Ironic that man should obtain his long sought utopia as a gift, rather than as something earned." Kettering shoots and kills the lurking Sheriff. Cole disappears and the parasites chase the pair out of the cone.Kettering formulates a plan utilizing the contents of the power company truck. He intends to connect a line from one end of the ravine to the other. He intends to use the cone as a ground. Another wire will be shot onto the wires of a very high voltage transmission line. Before Kettering can complete his plan, Alice appears on top of the scaffolding next to the cone. Paul walks back to the scaffolding to talk to Alice. He climbs the scaffolding to rescue the possessed Alice. She pulls a gun at shoots at Paul. Glenn fires the harpoon gun and the electrical connection is made. The cone is engulfed in sparks. Alice faints and the parasites inside are killed. The Senator and Glenn go inside to verify the menace is eliminated. Glenn and Elaine embrace. We close with a shot of the couple walking away and a slow pan up of the object and scaffolding. | Who arrives at town hall? | Kettering, the senator, Alice and Glenn | 2,567 | 2,606 |
The Brain Eaters | We open at night on the deserted streets of a small town. The narrator tells us, "A few weeks ago Riverdale, Illinois was just another quiet, small town. Then on that Saturday, shortly after midnight a living nightmare began." A man (an uncredited Hampton Fancher) carrying a lighted basketball sized glass container bumps into a pedestrian and the container is broken. A fight ensues and a hissing sound is heard. Title and credits follow.A car, a 1956 Thunderbird, approaches. The narrator continues his story, "On Sunday, about an hour before nightfall, my fiancée and I were returning from a trip to her family's home in the country. Our wedding date was set. Everything was right with the world. We were on the way back to town to tell the good news to my father." The driver, Glenn Cameron (Alan Jay Factor as Alan Frost) and passenger, Elaine Cameron (Jody Fair) are distracted by the flash of a bright light. They stop to investigate in the nearby woods. They find three animals, "All of them, dead." They continue to walk and to their shock spot a large, cone shaped metal structure.Two days later in Washington, D.C. a UFO committee reviews classified Army footage of the object. Senator Walter K. Powers (Cornelius Keefe as Jack Hill) and his assistant Dan Walker (Robert Ball) arrive late for the briefing. We learn that the object stands fifty feet high with a base diameter of fifty feet. The nature and origin of the cone is unknown. Dr. Paul Kettering (Ed Nelson as Edwin Nelson) is the chief investigator. Also noted is the coincidental slaying of several people in the nearby town. The Senator and his assistant fly to Riverdale to investigate first hand. They are met by Glenn who explains that his father, the Mayor, is missing. The three dive out to the site of the object. Alice Summers (Joanna Lee) is introduced. She is the Mayor's secretary, but she is assisting Dr. Kettering by recording test results on the object. The Senator climbs the scaffolding to question Kettering and his assistant, Dr. Wyler (David Hughes) on progress. Kettering explains that the object seems to be indestructible. He shoots a gun into the opening of the object and the bullet ricochets around and exits through the opening. Kettering crawls inside the object and explores. Sometime later, Dr. Wyler prepares to go inside as Kettering finally crawls out.

Title and credits follow.A car, a 1956 Thunderbird, approaches. The narrator continues his story, "On Sunday, about an hour before nightfall, my fiancée and I were returning from a trip to her family's home in the country. Our wedding date was set. Everything was right with the world. We were on the way back to town to tell the good news to my father." The driver, Glenn Cameron (Alan Jay Factor as Alan Frost) and passenger, Elaine Cameron (Jody Fair) are distracted by the flash of a bright light. They stop to investigate in the nearby woods. They find three animals, "All of them, dead." They continue to walk and to their shock spot a large, cone shaped metal structure.Two days later in Washington, D.C. a UFO committee reviews classified Army footage of the object. Senator Walter K. Powers (Cornelius Keefe as Jack Hill) and his assistant Dan Walker (Robert Ball) arrive late for the briefing. We learn that the object stands fifty feet high with a base diameter of fifty feet. The nature and origin of the cone is unknown. Dr. Paul Kettering (Ed Nelson as Edwin Nelson) is the chief investigator. Also noted is the coincidental slaying of several people in the nearby town. The Senator and his assistant fly to Riverdale to investigate first hand. They are met by Glenn who explains that his father, the Mayor, is missing. The three dive out to the site of the object. Alice Summers (Joanna Lee) is introduced. She is the Mayor's secretary, but she is assisting Dr. Kettering by recording test results on the object. The Senator climbs the scaffolding to question Kettering and his assistant, Dr. Wyler (David Hughes) on progress. Kettering explains that the object seems to be indestructible. He shoots a gun into the opening of the object and the bullet ricochets around and exits through the opening. Kettering crawls inside the object and explores. Sometime later, Dr. Wyler prepares to go inside as Kettering finally crawls out. A call to the site informs them that the Mayor has returned.At his desk, Mayor Cameron (Orville Sherman) struggles as if possessed. He takes a gun from his desk drawer and fights to put the gun to his head. Kettering, the Senator, Alice and Glenn arrive at Town Hall. The Mayor acts very strangely. He is hostile and angry, even towards his own son. Kettering notices a strange, pulsating lump under the Mayor's jacket near his neck. The Mayor pulls a gun on the group. Kettering asks about the lump on his neck. The Mayor strikes his son trying to flee the room. As he does, Kettering strikes the Mayor who discharges several shots from the revolver. He is shot and killed by a deputy in the hall way just outside his office.An autopsy on the body reveals something strange. The doctor (Doug Banks) and Kettering reveal the creature injected an acid into the Mayors nervous system. Even without the shooting death, he would have died within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.The Sheriff (Greigh Phillips) drives back out to the object. On the way he encounters a man lying on the road. He gets out of his patrol car to investigate. He is attacked by the man. Another man, holding a lighted container, watches the fight. He sheriff is knocked out and the two men infect him with the contents of the container. The sheriff is revived and the three drive off in the patrol car.Alice and Paul Kettering are working in the lab. He is experimenting with a piece of the creature taken from the Mayor. The parasite crawls toward Paul and attaches itself to his arm. He is able to free himself burning it with the Bunsen burner. Wyler calls Kettering at the lab. They drive out to the object. Glenn and Paul discover an electric utility truck which has been abandoned just off the road. Wyler has a theory. The object is an empty fuel section of a much larger object. A call to the Sheriff from the Senator goes unanswered. The sheriff struggles with his possession. Three groups are organized to search for other parts of the object. Paul and Alice find the body of the power company man. He has two puncture wounds on his neck. Glenn and Elaine are locked into a cabin on their search. Someone tries to burn the cabin down. Glenn shoots at the arsonist and he and his fiancée escape. The three groups reassemble at the Mayor's office. They discover two containers of parasites. The Senator calls the telegraph office to send a message to the Governor. The telegrapher (Henry Randolph) takes the message, but as he is also possessed, he sends the wrong message.A car with three men drive up to Alice's apartment building. One climbs upstairs with a parasite and plants it in her room. She is possessed and joins the three men in their car. She is still wearing her nightgown. Paul and Glenn break into her room and discover she is missing. They drive back out to the object and discover the body of a dying man they recognize as Professor Helsingman (Saul Bronson). He, along with a scientific expedition team, vanished five years earlier. They discover the marks on his neck and take the professor to a hospital. Kettering questions the professor in his room. The only word uttered is Carboniferous, a geological Period about 200,000,000 years ago. Senator Powers tries to make several telephone calls, but is consistently told that the lines are busy. Glenn and Paul go to the telegraph office to question the man about the message to the Governor's Office. They are attacked, but manage to subdue their assailants and flee in the car. The Senator's radio broadcast is also sabotaged.Kettering climbs up the scaffolding to check on his equipment. He discovers the two deputies on guard are possessed. They are both shot and killed. Kettering and Glenn enter the cone and discover a mist filled room. They are greeted by another member of the missing expedition, Professor Cole (Leonard Nimoy). The old, bearded figure tells Kettering he was Professor Cole. He explains, "Now I hold a position of a much higher order." He provides details of their invasion plan and adds, "We shall force upon man a life free from strife and turmoil. Ironic that man should obtain his long sought utopia as a gift, rather than as something earned." Kettering shoots and kills the lurking Sheriff. Cole disappears and the parasites chase the pair out of the cone.Kettering formulates a plan utilizing the contents of the power company truck. He intends to connect a line from one end of the ravine to the other. He intends to use the cone as a ground. Another wire will be shot onto the wires of a very high voltage transmission line. Before Kettering can complete his plan, Alice appears on top of the scaffolding next to the cone. Paul walks back to the scaffolding to talk to Alice. He climbs the scaffolding to rescue the possessed Alice. She pulls a gun at shoots at Paul. Glenn fires the harpoon gun and the electrical connection is made. The cone is engulfed in sparks. Alice faints and the parasites inside are killed. The Senator and Glenn go inside to verify the menace is eliminated. Glenn and Elaine embrace. We close with a shot of the couple walking away and a slow pan up of the object and scaffolding. | Was it four or five years earlier that Prof. Helsingman vanished? | five years | 5,372 | 5,382 |

Glenn and Paul go to the telegraph office to question the man about the message to the Governor's Office. They are attacked, but manage to subdue their assailants and flee in the car. The Senator's radio broadcast is also sabotaged.Kettering climbs up the scaffolding to check on his equipment. He discovers the two deputies on guard are possessed. They are both shot and killed. Kettering and Glenn enter the cone and discover a mist filled room. They are greeted by another member of the missing expedition, Professor Cole (Leonard Nimoy). The old, bearded figure tells Kettering he was Professor Cole. He explains, "Now I hold a position of a much higher order." He provides details of their invasion plan and adds, "We shall force upon man a life free from strife and turmoil. Ironic that man should obtain his long sought utopia as a gift, rather than as something earned." Kettering shoots and kills the lurking Sheriff. Cole disappears and the parasites chase the pair out of the cone.Kettering formulates a plan utilizing the contents of the power company truck. He intends to connect a line from one end of the ravine to the other. He intends to use the cone as a ground. Another wire will be shot onto the wires of a very high voltage transmission line. Before Kettering can complete his plan, Alice appears on top of the scaffolding next to the cone. Paul walks back to the scaffolding to talk to Alice. He climbs the scaffolding to rescue the possessed Alice. She pulls a gun at shoots at Paul. Glenn fires the harpoon gun and the electrical connection is made. The cone is engulfed in sparks. Alice faints and the parasites inside are killed. The Senator and Glenn go inside to verify the menace is eliminated. Glenn and Elaine embrace. We close with a shot of the couple walking away and a slow pan up of the object and scaffolding. | Where does the assistant go to investigate? | Riverdale | 98 | 107 |
The Brain Eaters | We open at night on the deserted streets of a small town. The narrator tells us, "A few weeks ago Riverdale, Illinois was just another quiet, small town. Then on that Saturday, shortly after midnight a living nightmare began." A man (an uncredited Hampton Fancher) carrying a lighted basketball sized glass container bumps into a pedestrian and the container is broken. A fight ensues and a hissing sound is heard. Title and credits follow.A car, a 1956 Thunderbird, approaches. The narrator continues his story, "On Sunday, about an hour before nightfall, my fiancée and I were returning from a trip to her family's home in the country. Our wedding date was set. Everything was right with the world. We were on the way back to town to tell the good news to my father." The driver, Glenn Cameron (Alan Jay Factor as Alan Frost) and passenger, Elaine Cameron (Jody Fair) are distracted by the flash of a bright light. They stop to investigate in the nearby woods. They find three animals, "All of them, dead." They continue to walk and to their shock spot a large, cone shaped metal structure.Two days later in Washington, D.C. a UFO committee reviews classified Army footage of the object. Senator Walter K. Powers (Cornelius Keefe as Jack Hill) and his assistant Dan Walker (Robert Ball) arrive late for the briefing. We learn that the object stands fifty feet high with a base diameter of fifty feet. The nature and origin of the cone is unknown. Dr. Paul Kettering (Ed Nelson as Edwin Nelson) is the chief investigator. Also noted is the coincidental slaying of several people in the nearby town. The Senator and his assistant fly to Riverdale to investigate first hand. They are met by Glenn who explains that his father, the Mayor, is missing. The three dive out to the site of the object. Alice Summers (Joanna Lee) is introduced. She is the Mayor's secretary, but she is assisting Dr. Kettering by recording test results on the object. The Senator climbs the scaffolding to question Kettering and his assistant, Dr. Wyler (David Hughes) on progress. Kettering explains that the object seems to be indestructible. He shoots a gun into the opening of the object and the bullet ricochets around and exits through the opening. Kettering crawls inside the object and explores. Sometime later, Dr. Wyler prepares to go inside as Kettering finally crawls out. A call to the site informs them that the Mayor has returned.At his desk, Mayor Cameron (Orville Sherman) struggles as if possessed. He takes a gun from his desk drawer and fights to put the gun to his head. Kettering, the Senator, Alice and Glenn arrive at Town Hall. The Mayor acts very strangely. He is hostile and angry, even towards his own son. Kettering notices a strange, pulsating lump under the Mayor's jacket near his neck. The Mayor pulls a gun on the group. Kettering asks about the lump on his neck. The Mayor strikes his son trying to flee the room. As he does, Kettering strikes the Mayor who discharges several shots from the revolver. He is shot and killed by a deputy in the hall way just outside his office.An autopsy on the body reveals something strange. The doctor (Doug Banks) and Kettering reveal the creature injected an acid into the Mayors nervous system. Even without the shooting death, he would have died within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.The Sheriff (Greigh Phillips) drives back out to the object. On the way he encounters a man lying on the road. He gets out of his patrol car to investigate. He is attacked by the man. Another man, holding a lighted container, watches the fight. He sheriff is knocked out and the two men infect him with the contents of the container. The sheriff is revived and the three drive off in the patrol car.Alice and Paul Kettering are working in the lab. He is experimenting with a piece of the creature taken from the Mayor. The parasite crawls toward Paul and attaches itself to his arm. He is able to free himself burning it with the Bunsen burner. Wyler calls Kettering at the lab. They drive out to the object. Glenn and Paul discover an electric utility truck which has been abandoned just off the road. Wyler has a theory. The object is an empty fuel section of a much larger object. A call to the Sheriff from the Senator goes unanswered. The sheriff struggles with his possession. Three groups are organized to search for other parts of the object. Paul and Alice find the body of the power company man. He has two puncture wounds on his neck. Glenn and Elaine are locked into a cabin on their search. Someone tries to burn the cabin down. Glenn shoots at the arsonist and he and his fiancée escape. The three groups reassemble at the Mayor's office. They discover two containers of parasites. The Senator calls the telegraph office to send a message to the Governor. The telegrapher (Henry Randolph) takes the message, but as he is also possessed, he sends the wrong message.A car with three men drive up to Alice's apartment building. One climbs upstairs with a parasite and plants it in her room. She is possessed and joins the three men in their car. She is still wearing her nightgown. Paul and Glenn break into her room and discover she is missing. They drive back out to the object and discover the body of a dying man they recognize as Professor Helsingman (Saul Bronson). He, along with a scientific expedition team, vanished five years earlier. They discover the marks on his neck and take the professor to a hospital. Kettering questions the professor in his room.

Even without the shooting death, he would have died within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.The Sheriff (Greigh Phillips) drives back out to the object. On the way he encounters a man lying on the road. He gets out of his patrol car to investigate. He is attacked by the man. Another man, holding a lighted container, watches the fight. He sheriff is knocked out and the two men infect him with the contents of the container. The sheriff is revived and the three drive off in the patrol car.Alice and Paul Kettering are working in the lab. He is experimenting with a piece of the creature taken from the Mayor. The parasite crawls toward Paul and attaches itself to his arm. He is able to free himself burning it with the Bunsen burner. Wyler calls Kettering at the lab. They drive out to the object. Glenn and Paul discover an electric utility truck which has been abandoned just off the road. Wyler has a theory. The object is an empty fuel section of a much larger object. A call to the Sheriff from the Senator goes unanswered. The sheriff struggles with his possession. Three groups are organized to search for other parts of the object. Paul and Alice find the body of the power company man. He has two puncture wounds on his neck. Glenn and Elaine are locked into a cabin on their search. Someone tries to burn the cabin down. Glenn shoots at the arsonist and he and his fiancée escape. The three groups reassemble at the Mayor's office. They discover two containers of parasites. The Senator calls the telegraph office to send a message to the Governor. The telegrapher (Henry Randolph) takes the message, but as he is also possessed, he sends the wrong message.A car with three men drive up to Alice's apartment building. One climbs upstairs with a parasite and plants it in her room. She is possessed and joins the three men in their car. She is still wearing her nightgown. Paul and Glenn break into her room and discover she is missing. They drive back out to the object and discover the body of a dying man they recognize as Professor Helsingman (Saul Bronson). He, along with a scientific expedition team, vanished five years earlier. They discover the marks on his neck and take the professor to a hospital. Kettering questions the professor in his room. The only word uttered is Carboniferous, a geological Period about 200,000,000 years ago. Senator Powers tries to make several telephone calls, but is consistently told that the lines are busy. Glenn and Paul go to the telegraph office to question the man about the message to the Governor's Office. They are attacked, but manage to subdue their assailants and flee in the car. The Senator's radio broadcast is also sabotaged.Kettering climbs up the scaffolding to check on his equipment. He discovers the two deputies on guard are possessed. They are both shot and killed. Kettering and Glenn enter the cone and discover a mist filled room. They are greeted by another member of the missing expedition, Professor Cole (Leonard Nimoy). The old, bearded figure tells Kettering he was Professor Cole. He explains, "Now I hold a position of a much higher order." He provides details of their invasion plan and adds, "We shall force upon man a life free from strife and turmoil. Ironic that man should obtain his long sought utopia as a gift, rather than as something earned." Kettering shoots and kills the lurking Sheriff. Cole disappears and the parasites chase the pair out of the cone.Kettering formulates a plan utilizing the contents of the power company truck. He intends to connect a line from one end of the ravine to the other. He intends to use the cone as a ground. Another wire will be shot onto the wires of a very high voltage transmission line. Before Kettering can complete his plan, Alice appears on top of the scaffolding next to the cone. Paul walks back to the scaffolding to talk to Alice. He climbs the scaffolding to rescue the possessed Alice. She pulls a gun at shoots at Paul. Glenn fires the harpoon gun and the electrical connection is made. The cone is engulfed in sparks. Alice faints and the parasites inside are killed. The Senator and Glenn go inside to verify the menace is eliminated. Glenn and Elaine embrace. We close with a shot of the couple walking away and a slow pan up of the object and scaffolding. | Who is the mayor's father? | Glenn Cameron | 782 | 795 |
The Brain Eaters | We open at night on the deserted streets of a small town. The narrator tells us, "A few weeks ago Riverdale, Illinois was just another quiet, small town. Then on that Saturday, shortly after midnight a living nightmare began." A man (an uncredited Hampton Fancher) carrying a lighted basketball sized glass container bumps into a pedestrian and the container is broken. A fight ensues and a hissing sound is heard. Title and credits follow.A car, a 1956 Thunderbird, approaches. The narrator continues his story, "On Sunday, about an hour before nightfall, my fiancée and I were returning from a trip to her family's home in the country. Our wedding date was set. Everything was right with the world. We were on the way back to town to tell the good news to my father." The driver, Glenn Cameron (Alan Jay Factor as Alan Frost) and passenger, Elaine Cameron (Jody Fair) are distracted by the flash of a bright light. They stop to investigate in the nearby woods. They find three animals, "All of them, dead." They continue to walk and to their shock spot a large, cone shaped metal structure.Two days later in Washington, D.C. a UFO committee reviews classified Army footage of the object. Senator Walter K. Powers (Cornelius Keefe as Jack Hill) and his assistant Dan Walker (Robert Ball) arrive late for the briefing. We learn that the object stands fifty feet high with a base diameter of fifty feet. The nature and origin of the cone is unknown. Dr. Paul Kettering (Ed Nelson as Edwin Nelson) is the chief investigator. Also noted is the coincidental slaying of several people in the nearby town. The Senator and his assistant fly to Riverdale to investigate first hand. They are met by Glenn who explains that his father, the Mayor, is missing. The three dive out to the site of the object. Alice Summers (Joanna Lee) is introduced. She is the Mayor's secretary, but she is assisting Dr. Kettering by recording test results on the object. The Senator climbs the scaffolding to question Kettering and his assistant, Dr. Wyler (David Hughes) on progress. Kettering explains that the object seems to be indestructible. He shoots a gun into the opening of the object and the bullet ricochets around and exits through the opening. Kettering crawls inside the object and explores. Sometime later, Dr. Wyler prepares to go inside as Kettering finally crawls out. A call to the site informs them that the Mayor has returned.At his desk, Mayor Cameron (Orville Sherman) struggles as if possessed. He takes a gun from his desk drawer and fights to put the gun to his head. Kettering, the Senator, Alice and Glenn arrive at Town Hall. The Mayor acts very strangely. He is hostile and angry, even towards his own son. Kettering notices a strange, pulsating lump under the Mayor's jacket near his neck. The Mayor pulls a gun on the group. Kettering asks about the lump on his neck. The Mayor strikes his son trying to flee the room. As he does, Kettering strikes the Mayor who discharges several shots from the revolver.

They continue to walk and to their shock spot a large, cone shaped metal structure.Two days later in Washington, D.C. a UFO committee reviews classified Army footage of the object. Senator Walter K. Powers (Cornelius Keefe as Jack Hill) and his assistant Dan Walker (Robert Ball) arrive late for the briefing. We learn that the object stands fifty feet high with a base diameter of fifty feet. The nature and origin of the cone is unknown. Dr. Paul Kettering (Ed Nelson as Edwin Nelson) is the chief investigator. Also noted is the coincidental slaying of several people in the nearby town. The Senator and his assistant fly to Riverdale to investigate first hand. They are met by Glenn who explains that his father, the Mayor, is missing. The three dive out to the site of the object. Alice Summers (Joanna Lee) is introduced. She is the Mayor's secretary, but she is assisting Dr. Kettering by recording test results on the object. The Senator climbs the scaffolding to question Kettering and his assistant, Dr. Wyler (David Hughes) on progress. Kettering explains that the object seems to be indestructible. He shoots a gun into the opening of the object and the bullet ricochets around and exits through the opening. Kettering crawls inside the object and explores. Sometime later, Dr. Wyler prepares to go inside as Kettering finally crawls out. A call to the site informs them that the Mayor has returned.At his desk, Mayor Cameron (Orville Sherman) struggles as if possessed. He takes a gun from his desk drawer and fights to put the gun to his head. Kettering, the Senator, Alice and Glenn arrive at Town Hall. The Mayor acts very strangely. He is hostile and angry, even towards his own son. Kettering notices a strange, pulsating lump under the Mayor's jacket near his neck. The Mayor pulls a gun on the group. Kettering asks about the lump on his neck. The Mayor strikes his son trying to flee the room. As he does, Kettering strikes the Mayor who discharges several shots from the revolver. He is shot and killed by a deputy in the hall way just outside his office.An autopsy on the body reveals something strange. The doctor (Doug Banks) and Kettering reveal the creature injected an acid into the Mayors nervous system. Even without the shooting death, he would have died within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.The Sheriff (Greigh Phillips) drives back out to the object. On the way he encounters a man lying on the road. He gets out of his patrol car to investigate. He is attacked by the man. Another man, holding a lighted container, watches the fight. He sheriff is knocked out and the two men infect him with the contents of the container. The sheriff is revived and the three drive off in the patrol car.Alice and Paul Kettering are working in the lab. He is experimenting with a piece of the creature taken from the Mayor. The parasite crawls toward Paul and attaches itself to his arm. He is able to free himself burning it with the Bunsen burner. Wyler calls Kettering at the lab. They drive out to the object. Glenn and Paul discover an electric utility truck which has been abandoned just off the road. Wyler has a theory. The object is an empty fuel section of a much larger object. A call to the Sheriff from the Senator goes unanswered. The sheriff struggles with his possession. Three groups are organized to search for other parts of the object. Paul and Alice find the body of the power company man. He has two puncture wounds on his neck. Glenn and Elaine are locked into a cabin on their search. Someone tries to burn the cabin down. Glenn shoots at the arsonist and he and his fiancée escape. The three groups reassemble at the Mayor's office. They discover two containers of parasites. The Senator calls the telegraph office to send a message to the Governor. The telegrapher (Henry Randolph) takes the message, but as he is also possessed, he sends the wrong message.A car with three men drive up to Alice's apartment building. One climbs upstairs with a parasite and plants it in her room. She is possessed and joins the three men in their car. She is still wearing her nightgown. Paul and Glenn break into her room and discover she is missing. They drive back out to the object and discover the body of a dying man they recognize as Professor Helsingman (Saul Bronson). He, along with a scientific expedition team, vanished five years earlier. They discover the marks on his neck and take the professor to a hospital. Kettering questions the professor in his room. The only word uttered is Carboniferous, a geological Period about 200,000,000 years ago. Senator Powers tries to make several telephone calls, but is consistently told that the lines are busy. Glenn and Paul go to the telegraph office to question the man about the message to the Governor's Office. They are attacked, but manage to subdue their assailants and flee in the car. The Senator's radio broadcast is also sabotaged.Kettering climbs up the scaffolding to check on his equipment. He discovers the two deputies on guard are possessed. They are both shot and killed. Kettering and Glenn enter the cone and discover a mist filled room. They are greeted by another member of the missing expedition, Professor Cole (Leonard Nimoy). The old, bearded figure tells Kettering he was Professor Cole. He explains, "Now I hold a position of a much higher order." He provides details of their invasion plan and adds, "We shall force upon man a life free from strife and turmoil. Ironic that man should obtain his long sought utopia as a gift, rather than as something earned." Kettering shoots and kills the lurking Sheriff. Cole disappears and the parasites chase the pair out of the cone.Kettering formulates a plan utilizing the contents of the power company truck. He intends to connect a line from one end of the ravine to the other. He intends to use the cone as a ground. Another wire will be shot onto the wires of a very high voltage transmission line. Before Kettering can complete his plan, Alice appears on top of the scaffolding next to the cone. Paul walks back to the scaffolding to talk to Alice. He climbs the scaffolding to rescue the possessed Alice. She pulls a gun at shoots at Paul. Glenn fires the harpoon gun and the electrical connection is made. The cone is engulfed in sparks. Alice faints and the parasites inside are killed. The Senator and Glenn go inside to verify the menace is eliminated. Glenn and Elaine embrace. We close with a shot of the couple walking away and a slow pan up of the object and scaffolding. | Who is knocked out? | sheriff | 3,339 | 3,346 |
The Brain Eaters | We open at night on the deserted streets of a small town. The narrator tells us, "A few weeks ago Riverdale, Illinois was just another quiet, small town. Then on that Saturday, shortly after midnight a living nightmare began." A man (an uncredited Hampton Fancher) carrying a lighted basketball sized glass container bumps into a pedestrian and the container is broken. A fight ensues and a hissing sound is heard. Title and credits follow.A car, a 1956 Thunderbird, approaches. The narrator continues his story, "On Sunday, about an hour before nightfall, my fiancée and I were returning from a trip to her family's home in the country. Our wedding date was set.

He provides details of their invasion plan and adds, "We shall force upon man a life free from strife and turmoil. Ironic that man should obtain his long sought utopia as a gift, rather than as something earned." Kettering shoots and kills the lurking Sheriff. Cole disappears and the parasites chase the pair out of the cone.Kettering formulates a plan utilizing the contents of the power company truck. He intends to connect a line from one end of the ravine to the other. He intends to use the cone as a ground. Another wire will be shot onto the wires of a very high voltage transmission line. Before Kettering can complete his plan, Alice appears on top of the scaffolding next to the cone. Paul walks back to the scaffolding to talk to Alice. He climbs the scaffolding to rescue the possessed Alice. She pulls a gun at shoots at Paul. Glenn fires the harpoon gun and the electrical connection is made. The cone is engulfed in sparks. Alice faints and the parasites inside are killed. The Senator and Glenn go inside to verify the menace is eliminated. Glenn and Elaine embrace. We close with a shot of the couple walking away and a slow pan up of the object and scaffolding. | Who is quickly possessed? | Alice | 1,795 | 1,800 |
The Brain Eaters | We open at night on the deserted streets of a small town. The narrator tells us, "A few weeks ago Riverdale, Illinois was just another quiet, small town. Then on that Saturday, shortly after midnight a living nightmare began." A man (an uncredited Hampton Fancher) carrying a lighted basketball sized glass container bumps into a pedestrian and the container is broken. A fight ensues and a hissing sound is heard. Title and credits follow.A car, a 1956 Thunderbird, approaches. The narrator continues his story, "On Sunday, about an hour before nightfall, my fiancée and I were returning from a trip to her family's home in the country. Our wedding date was set. Everything was right with the world. We were on the way back to town to tell the good news to my father." The driver, Glenn Cameron (Alan Jay Factor as Alan Frost) and passenger, Elaine Cameron (Jody Fair) are distracted by the flash of a bright light. They stop to investigate in the nearby woods. They find three animals, "All of them, dead." They continue to walk and to their shock spot a large, cone shaped metal structure.Two days later in Washington, D.C. a UFO committee reviews classified Army footage of the object. Senator Walter K. Powers (Cornelius Keefe as Jack Hill) and his assistant Dan Walker (Robert Ball) arrive late for the briefing. We learn that the object stands fifty feet high with a base diameter of fifty feet. The nature and origin of the cone is unknown. Dr. Paul Kettering (Ed Nelson as Edwin Nelson) is the chief investigator. Also noted is the coincidental slaying of several people in the nearby town. The Senator and his assistant fly to Riverdale to investigate first hand. They are met by Glenn who explains that his father, the Mayor, is missing. The three dive out to the site of the object. Alice Summers (Joanna Lee) is introduced. She is the Mayor's secretary, but she is assisting Dr. Kettering by recording test results on the object. The Senator climbs the scaffolding to question Kettering and his assistant, Dr. Wyler (David Hughes) on progress. Kettering explains that the object seems to be indestructible. He shoots a gun into the opening of the object and the bullet ricochets around and exits through the opening. Kettering crawls inside the object and explores. Sometime later, Dr. Wyler prepares to go inside as Kettering finally crawls out. A call to the site informs them that the Mayor has returned.At his desk, Mayor Cameron (Orville Sherman) struggles as if possessed. He takes a gun from his desk drawer and fights to put the gun to his head. Kettering, the Senator, Alice and Glenn arrive at Town Hall. The Mayor acts very strangely. He is hostile and angry, even towards his own son. Kettering notices a strange, pulsating lump under the Mayor's jacket near his neck. The Mayor pulls a gun on the group. Kettering asks about the lump on his neck. The Mayor strikes his son trying to flee the room. As he does, Kettering strikes the Mayor who discharges several shots from the revolver. He is shot and killed by a deputy in the hall way just outside his office.An autopsy on the body reveals something strange. The doctor (Doug Banks) and Kettering reveal the creature injected an acid into the Mayors nervous system. Even without the shooting death, he would have died within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.The Sheriff (Greigh Phillips) drives back out to the object. On the way he encounters a man lying on the road. He gets out of his patrol car to investigate. He is attacked by the man. Another man, holding a lighted container, watches the fight. He sheriff is knocked out and the two men infect him with the contents of the container. The sheriff is revived and the three drive off in the patrol car.Alice and Paul Kettering are working in the lab. He is experimenting with a piece of the creature taken from the Mayor. The parasite crawls toward Paul and attaches itself to his arm. He is able to free himself burning it with the Bunsen burner. Wyler calls Kettering at the lab. They drive out to the object. Glenn and Paul discover an electric utility truck which has been abandoned just off the road. Wyler has a theory. The object is an empty fuel section of a much larger object. A call to the Sheriff from the Senator goes unanswered. The sheriff struggles with his possession. Three groups are organized to search for other parts of the object. Paul and Alice find the body of the power company man. He has two puncture wounds on his neck. Glenn and Elaine are locked into a cabin on their search. Someone tries to burn the cabin down. Glenn shoots at the arsonist and he and his fiancée escape. The three groups reassemble at the Mayor's office. They discover two containers of parasites. The Senator calls the telegraph office to send a message to the Governor. The telegrapher (Henry Randolph) takes the message, but as he is also possessed, he sends the wrong message.A car with three men drive up to Alice's apartment building. One climbs upstairs with a parasite and plants it in her room. She is possessed and joins the three men in their car. She is still wearing her nightgown. Paul and Glenn break into her room and discover she is missing. They drive back out to the object and discover the body of a dying man they recognize as Professor Helsingman (Saul Bronson). He, along with a scientific expedition team, vanished five years earlier. They discover the marks on his neck and take the professor to a hospital. Kettering questions the professor in his room. The only word uttered is Carboniferous, a geological Period about 200,000,000 years ago. Senator Powers tries to make several telephone calls, but is consistently told that the lines are busy. Glenn and Paul go to the telegraph office to question the man about the message to the Governor's Office. They are attacked, but manage to subdue their assailants and flee in the car. The Senator's radio broadcast is also sabotaged.Kettering climbs up the scaffolding to check on his equipment. He discovers the two deputies on guard are possessed. They are both shot and killed. Kettering and Glenn enter the cone and discover a mist filled room. They are greeted by another member of the missing expedition, Professor Cole (Leonard Nimoy).

The parasite crawls toward Paul and attaches itself to his arm. He is able to free himself burning it with the Bunsen burner. Wyler calls Kettering at the lab. They drive out to the object. Glenn and Paul discover an electric utility truck which has been abandoned just off the road. Wyler has a theory. The object is an empty fuel section of a much larger object. A call to the Sheriff from the Senator goes unanswered. The sheriff struggles with his possession. Three groups are organized to search for other parts of the object. Paul and Alice find the body of the power company man. He has two puncture wounds on his neck. Glenn and Elaine are locked into a cabin on their search. Someone tries to burn the cabin down. Glenn shoots at the arsonist and he and his fiancée escape. The three groups reassemble at the Mayor's office. They discover two containers of parasites. The Senator calls the telegraph office to send a message to the Governor. The telegrapher (Henry Randolph) takes the message, but as he is also possessed, he sends the wrong message.A car with three men drive up to Alice's apartment building. One climbs upstairs with a parasite and plants it in her room. She is possessed and joins the three men in their car. She is still wearing her nightgown. Paul and Glenn break into her room and discover she is missing. They drive back out to the object and discover the body of a dying man they recognize as Professor Helsingman (Saul Bronson). He, along with a scientific expedition team, vanished five years earlier. They discover the marks on his neck and take the professor to a hospital. Kettering questions the professor in his room. The only word uttered is Carboniferous, a geological Period about 200,000,000 years ago. Senator Powers tries to make several telephone calls, but is consistently told that the lines are busy. Glenn and Paul go to the telegraph office to question the man about the message to the Governor's Office. They are attacked, but manage to subdue their assailants and flee in the car. The Senator's radio broadcast is also sabotaged.Kettering climbs up the scaffolding to check on his equipment. He discovers the two deputies on guard are possessed. They are both shot and killed. Kettering and Glenn enter the cone and discover a mist filled room. They are greeted by another member of the missing expedition, Professor Cole (Leonard Nimoy). The old, bearded figure tells Kettering he was Professor Cole. He explains, "Now I hold a position of a much higher order." He provides details of their invasion plan and adds, "We shall force upon man a life free from strife and turmoil. Ironic that man should obtain his long sought utopia as a gift, rather than as something earned." Kettering shoots and kills the lurking Sheriff. Cole disappears and the parasites chase the pair out of the cone.Kettering formulates a plan utilizing the contents of the power company truck. He intends to connect a line from one end of the ravine to the other. He intends to use the cone as a ground. Another wire will be shot onto the wires of a very high voltage transmission line. Before Kettering can complete his plan, Alice appears on top of the scaffolding next to the cone. Paul walks back to the scaffolding to talk to Alice. He climbs the scaffolding to rescue the possessed Alice. She pulls a gun at shoots at Paul. Glenn fires the harpoon gun and the electrical connection is made. The cone is engulfed in sparks. Alice faints and the parasites inside are killed. The Senator and Glenn go inside to verify the menace is eliminated. Glenn and Elaine embrace. We close with a shot of the couple walking away and a slow pan up of the object and scaffolding. | How many groups were organized to search for other strange metal objects | Three | 973 | 978 |
The Brain Eaters | We open at night on the deserted streets of a small town. The narrator tells us, "A few weeks ago Riverdale, Illinois was just another quiet, small town. Then on that Saturday, shortly after midnight a living nightmare began." A man (an uncredited Hampton Fancher) carrying a lighted basketball sized glass container bumps into a pedestrian and the container is broken. A fight ensues and a hissing sound is heard. Title and credits follow.A car, a 1956 Thunderbird, approaches. The narrator continues his story, "On Sunday, about an hour before nightfall, my fiancée and I were returning from a trip to her family's home in the country. Our wedding date was set. Everything was right with the world. We were on the way back to town to tell the good news to my father." The driver, Glenn Cameron (Alan Jay Factor as Alan Frost) and passenger, Elaine Cameron (Jody Fair) are distracted by the flash of a bright light. They stop to investigate in the nearby woods. They find three animals, "All of them, dead." They continue to walk and to their shock spot a large, cone shaped metal structure.Two days later in Washington, D.C. a UFO committee reviews classified Army footage of the object. Senator Walter K. Powers (Cornelius Keefe as Jack Hill) and his assistant Dan Walker (Robert Ball) arrive late for the briefing. We learn that the object stands fifty feet high with a base diameter of fifty feet. The nature and origin of the cone is unknown. Dr. Paul Kettering (Ed Nelson as Edwin Nelson) is the chief investigator. Also noted is the coincidental slaying of several people in the nearby town. The Senator and his assistant fly to Riverdale to investigate first hand. They are met by Glenn who explains that his father, the Mayor, is missing. The three dive out to the site of the object. Alice Summers (Joanna Lee) is introduced. She is the Mayor's secretary, but she is assisting Dr. Kettering by recording test results on the object. The Senator climbs the scaffolding to question Kettering and his assistant, Dr. Wyler (David Hughes) on progress. Kettering explains that the object seems to be indestructible. He shoots a gun into the opening of the object and the bullet ricochets around and exits through the opening. Kettering crawls inside the object and explores. Sometime later, Dr. Wyler prepares to go inside as Kettering finally crawls out. A call to the site informs them that the Mayor has returned.At his desk, Mayor Cameron (Orville Sherman) struggles as if possessed. He takes a gun from his desk drawer and fights to put the gun to his head. Kettering, the Senator, Alice and Glenn arrive at Town Hall. The Mayor acts very strangely. He is hostile and angry, even towards his own son. Kettering notices a strange, pulsating lump under the Mayor's jacket near his neck. The Mayor pulls a gun on the group. Kettering asks about the lump on his neck. The Mayor strikes his son trying to flee the room. As he does, Kettering strikes the Mayor who discharges several shots from the revolver. He is shot and killed by a deputy in the hall way just outside his office.An autopsy on the body reveals something strange. The doctor (Doug Banks) and Kettering reveal the creature injected an acid into the Mayors nervous system. Even without the shooting death, he would have died within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.The Sheriff (Greigh Phillips) drives back out to the object. On the way he encounters a man lying on the road. He gets out of his patrol car to investigate. He is attacked by the man. Another man, holding a lighted container, watches the fight.

The Senator and his assistant fly to Riverdale to investigate first hand. They are met by Glenn who explains that his father, the Mayor, is missing. The three dive out to the site of the object. Alice Summers (Joanna Lee) is introduced. She is the Mayor's secretary, but she is assisting Dr. Kettering by recording test results on the object. The Senator climbs the scaffolding to question Kettering and his assistant, Dr. Wyler (David Hughes) on progress. Kettering explains that the object seems to be indestructible. He shoots a gun into the opening of the object and the bullet ricochets around and exits through the opening. Kettering crawls inside the object and explores. Sometime later, Dr. Wyler prepares to go inside as Kettering finally crawls out. A call to the site informs them that the Mayor has returned.At his desk, Mayor Cameron (Orville Sherman) struggles as if possessed. He takes a gun from his desk drawer and fights to put the gun to his head. Kettering, the Senator, Alice and Glenn arrive at Town Hall. The Mayor acts very strangely. He is hostile and angry, even towards his own son. Kettering notices a strange, pulsating lump under the Mayor's jacket near his neck. The Mayor pulls a gun on the group. Kettering asks about the lump on his neck. The Mayor strikes his son trying to flee the room. As he does, Kettering strikes the Mayor who discharges several shots from the revolver. He is shot and killed by a deputy in the hall way just outside his office.An autopsy on the body reveals something strange. The doctor (Doug Banks) and Kettering reveal the creature injected an acid into the Mayors nervous system. Even without the shooting death, he would have died within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.The Sheriff (Greigh Phillips) drives back out to the object. On the way he encounters a man lying on the road. He gets out of his patrol car to investigate. He is attacked by the man. Another man, holding a lighted container, watches the fight. He sheriff is knocked out and the two men infect him with the contents of the container. The sheriff is revived and the three drive off in the patrol car.Alice and Paul Kettering are working in the lab. He is experimenting with a piece of the creature taken from the Mayor. The parasite crawls toward Paul and attaches itself to his arm. He is able to free himself burning it with the Bunsen burner. Wyler calls Kettering at the lab. They drive out to the object. Glenn and Paul discover an electric utility truck which has been abandoned just off the road. Wyler has a theory. The object is an empty fuel section of a much larger object. A call to the Sheriff from the Senator goes unanswered. The sheriff struggles with his possession. Three groups are organized to search for other parts of the object. Paul and Alice find the body of the power company man. He has two puncture wounds on his neck. Glenn and Elaine are locked into a cabin on their search. Someone tries to burn the cabin down. Glenn shoots at the arsonist and he and his fiancée escape. The three groups reassemble at the Mayor's office. They discover two containers of parasites. The Senator calls the telegraph office to send a message to the Governor. The telegrapher (Henry Randolph) takes the message, but as he is also possessed, he sends the wrong message.A car with three men drive up to Alice's apartment building. One climbs upstairs with a parasite and plants it in her room. She is possessed and joins the three men in their car. She is still wearing her nightgown. Paul and Glenn break into her room and discover she is missing. They drive back out to the object and discover the body of a dying man they recognize as Professor Helsingman (Saul Bronson). He, along with a scientific expedition team, vanished five years earlier. They discover the marks on his neck and take the professor to a hospital. Kettering questions the professor in his room. The only word uttered is Carboniferous, a geological Period about 200,000,000 years ago. Senator Powers tries to make several telephone calls, but is consistently told that the lines are busy. Glenn and Paul go to the telegraph office to question the man about the message to the Governor's Office. They are attacked, but manage to subdue their assailants and flee in the car. The Senator's radio broadcast is also sabotaged.Kettering climbs up the scaffolding to check on his equipment. He discovers the two deputies on guard are possessed. They are both shot and killed. Kettering and Glenn enter the cone and discover a mist filled room. They are greeted by another member of the missing expedition, Professor Cole (Leonard Nimoy). The old, bearded figure tells Kettering he was Professor Cole. He explains, "Now I hold a position of a much higher order." He provides details of their invasion plan and adds, "We shall force upon man a life free from strife and turmoil. Ironic that man should obtain his long sought utopia as a gift, rather than as something earned." Kettering shoots and kills the lurking Sheriff. Cole disappears and the parasites chase the pair out of the cone.Kettering formulates a plan utilizing the contents of the power company truck. He intends to connect a line from one end of the ravine to the other. He intends to use the cone as a ground. Another wire will be shot onto the wires of a very high voltage transmission line. Before Kettering can complete his plan, Alice appears on top of the scaffolding next to the cone. Paul walks back to the scaffolding to talk to Alice. He climbs the scaffolding to rescue the possessed Alice. She pulls a gun at shoots at Paul. Glenn fires the harpoon gun and the electrical connection is made. The cone is engulfed in sparks. Alice faints and the parasites inside are killed. The Senator and Glenn go inside to verify the menace is eliminated. Glenn and Elaine embrace. We close with a shot of the couple walking away and a slow pan up of the object and scaffolding. | On what day were the driving? | Sunday | 517 | 523 |
The Brain Eaters | We open at night on the deserted streets of a small town. The narrator tells us, "A few weeks ago Riverdale, Illinois was just another quiet, small town. Then on that Saturday, shortly after midnight a living nightmare began." A man (an uncredited Hampton Fancher) carrying a lighted basketball sized glass container bumps into a pedestrian and the container is broken. A fight ensues and a hissing sound is heard. Title and credits follow.A car, a 1956 Thunderbird, approaches. The narrator continues his story, "On Sunday, about an hour before nightfall, my fiancée and I were returning from a trip to her family's home in the country. Our wedding date was set. Everything was right with the world. We were on the way back to town to tell the good news to my father." The driver, Glenn Cameron (Alan Jay Factor as Alan Frost) and passenger, Elaine Cameron (Jody Fair) are distracted by the flash of a bright light. They stop to investigate in the nearby woods. They find three animals, "All of them, dead." They continue to walk and to their shock spot a large, cone shaped metal structure.Two days later in Washington, D.C. a UFO committee reviews classified Army footage of the object. Senator Walter K. Powers (Cornelius Keefe as Jack Hill) and his assistant Dan Walker (Robert Ball) arrive late for the briefing. We learn that the object stands fifty feet high with a base diameter of fifty feet.

Sweet Land | In the aftermath of World War I, Inge Altenberg (Elizabeth Reaser), an orphan from Snåsa, Norway, arrives in America to a very cold reception. The parents of immigrant farmer Olaf Torvik (Tim Guinee) remain in Norway, where they met her. Dialogue reveals that the four of them have worked out an agreement that allowed her to emigrate to America for the purpose of marrying Olaf. The Minnesota farming village of Audubon, in which her intended husband lives, is horrified to learn that she is a German immigrant with no papers. To make matters worse, she has accidentally obtained membership papers for the American Socialist Party. Scandalized, both the town's Lutheran minister and the county clerk refuse to marry them.
When events lead them to openly cohabit with each other, they find themselves ostracized by the entire town. They are then forced to harvest their crop completely by hand and alone. This particular harvest season brings not only work, but love as well. | How are they forced to harvest their crop? | completely by hand | 876 | 894 |

Westworld | Sometime in the near future a high-tech, highly realistic adult amusement park called Delos features three themed "worlds"Â â West World (the American Old West), Medieval World (medieval Europe), and Roman World (the ancient Roman city of Pompeii). The resort's three "worlds" are populated with lifelike androids that are practically indistinguishable from human beings, each programmed in character for their assigned historical environment. For $1,000 per day, guests may indulge in any adventure with the android population of the park, including sexual encounters and even a fight to the death. Delos' tagline in its advertising promises, "Boy, have we got a vacation for you!"
Peter Martin (Benjamin), a first-time Delos visitor, and his friend John Blane (Brolin), on a repeat visit, go to West World. One of the attractions is the Gunslinger (Brynner), a robot programmed to instigate gunfights. The firearms issued to the park guests have temperature sensors that prevent them from shooting humans or anything with a high body temperature but allow them to 'kill' the cold-blooded androids. The Gunslinger's programming allows guests to draw their guns and kill it, with the robot always returning the next day for another duel.
The technicians running Delos notice problems beginning to spread like an infection among the androids: the robots in Roman World and Medieval World begin experiencing an increasing number of breakdowns and systemic failures, which are said to have spread to West World. When one of the supervising computer scientists scoffs at the "analogy of an infectious disease," he is told by the Chief Supervisor (Alan Oppenheimer), "We aren't dealing with ordinary machines here. These are highly complicated pieces of equipment, almost as complicated as living organisms. In some cases, they've been designed by other computers. We don't know exactly how they work."
The malfunctions become more serious when a robotic rattlesnake bites Blane in West World, and, against its programming, an android refuses a guest's advances in Medieval World. The failures escalate until Medieval World's Black Knight robot kills a guest in a swordfight. The resort's supervisors try to regain control by shutting down power to the entire park. However, the shutdown traps them in Central Control when the doors automatically lock, unable to turn the power back on and escape. Meanwhile, the robots in all three worlds run amok, operating on reserve power.
Martin and Blane, passed out drunk after a bar-room brawl, wake up in West World's bordello, unaware of the park's massive breakdown. When the Gunslinger challenges the men to a showdown, Blane treats the confrontation as an amusement until the robot outdraws, shoots and mortally wounds him. Martin runs for his life and the robot implacably follows.
Martin flees to the other areas of the park, but finds only dead guests, damaged robots, and a panicked technician attempting to escape Delos who is shortly thereafter shot by the Gunslinger. Martin climbs down through a manhole in Roman World into the underground control complex and discovers that the resort's computer technicians suffocated in the Control Room when the ventilation system shut down. The Gunslinger stalks him through the underground corridors so he runs away until he enters a robot-repair lab. When the Gunslinger comes into the room, Martin pretends to be a robot, throws acid into its face, and flees, returning to the surface inside the Medieval World castle.
With its optical inputs damaged by the acid, the Gunslinger is unable to track him visually and tries to find Martin using its infra-red scanners. Martin stands behind the flaming torches of the Great Hall to mask his presence from the robot, before setting it on fire with one of the torches. The burned shell of the Gunslinger attacks him on the dungeon steps before succumbing to its damage. Martin sits on the dungeon steps in a state of near-exhaustion and shock, as the irony of Delos' slogan resonates: "Boy, have we got a vacation for you!" | Who is Delos shot by? | The Gunslinger | 837 | 851 |

However, the shutdown traps them in Central Control when the doors automatically lock, unable to turn the power back on and escape. Meanwhile, the robots in all three worlds run amok, operating on reserve power.
Martin and Blane, passed out drunk after a bar-room brawl, wake up in West World's bordello, unaware of the park's massive breakdown. When the Gunslinger challenges the men to a showdown, Blane treats the confrontation as an amusement until the robot outdraws, shoots and mortally wounds him. Martin runs for his life and the robot implacably follows.
Martin flees to the other areas of the park, but finds only dead guests, damaged robots, and a panicked technician attempting to escape Delos who is shortly thereafter shot by the Gunslinger. Martin climbs down through a manhole in Roman World into the underground control complex and discovers that the resort's computer technicians suffocated in the Control Room when the ventilation system shut down. The Gunslinger stalks him through the underground corridors so he runs away until he enters a robot-repair lab. When the Gunslinger comes into the room, Martin pretends to be a robot, throws acid into its face, and flees, returning to the surface inside the Medieval World castle.
With its optical inputs damaged by the acid, the Gunslinger is unable to track him visually and tries to find Martin using its infra-red scanners. Martin stands behind the flaming torches of the Great Hall to mask his presence from the robot, before setting it on fire with one of the torches. The burned shell of the Gunslinger attacks him on the dungeon steps before succumbing to its damage.

Westworld | Sometime in the near future a high-tech, highly realistic adult amusement park called Delos features three themed "worlds"Â â West World (the American Old West), Medieval World (medieval Europe), and Roman World (the ancient Roman city of Pompeii). The resort's three "worlds" are populated with lifelike androids that are practically indistinguishable from human beings, each programmed in character for their assigned historical environment. For $1,000 per day, guests may indulge in any adventure with the android population of the park, including sexual encounters and even a fight to the death. Delos' tagline in its advertising promises, "Boy, have we got a vacation for you!"
Peter Martin (Benjamin), a first-time Delos visitor, and his friend John Blane (Brolin), on a repeat visit, go to West World. One of the attractions is the Gunslinger (Brynner), a robot programmed to instigate gunfights. The firearms issued to the park guests have temperature sensors that prevent them from shooting humans or anything with a high body temperature but allow them to 'kill' the cold-blooded androids. The Gunslinger's programming allows guests to draw their guns and kill it, with the robot always returning the next day for another duel.
The technicians running Delos notice problems beginning to spread like an infection among the androids: the robots in Roman World and Medieval World begin experiencing an increasing number of breakdowns and systemic failures, which are said to have spread to West World. When one of the supervising computer scientists scoffs at the "analogy of an infectious disease," he is told by the Chief Supervisor (Alan Oppenheimer), "We aren't dealing with ordinary machines here. These are highly complicated pieces of equipment, almost as complicated as living organisms. In some cases, they've been designed by other computers. We don't know exactly how they work."

These are highly complicated pieces of equipment, almost as complicated as living organisms. In some cases, they've been designed by other computers. We don't know exactly how they work."
The malfunctions become more serious when a robotic rattlesnake bites Blane in West World, and, against its programming, an android refuses a guest's advances in Medieval World. The failures escalate until Medieval World's Black Knight robot kills a guest in a swordfight. The resort's supervisors try to regain control by shutting down power to the entire park. However, the shutdown traps them in Central Control when the doors automatically lock, unable to turn the power back on and escape. Meanwhile, the robots in all three worlds run amok, operating on reserve power.
Martin and Blane, passed out drunk after a bar-room brawl, wake up in West World's bordello, unaware of the park's massive breakdown. When the Gunslinger challenges the men to a showdown, Blane treats the confrontation as an amusement until the robot outdraws, shoots and mortally wounds him. Martin runs for his life and the robot implacably follows.
Martin flees to the other areas of the park, but finds only dead guests, damaged robots, and a panicked technician attempting to escape Delos who is shortly thereafter shot by the Gunslinger. Martin climbs down through a manhole in Roman World into the underground control complex and discovers that the resort's computer technicians suffocated in the Control Room when the ventilation system shut down. The Gunslinger stalks him through the underground corridors so he runs away until he enters a robot-repair lab. When the Gunslinger comes into the room, Martin pretends to be a robot, throws acid into its face, and flees, returning to the surface inside the Medieval World castle.
With its optical inputs damaged by the acid, the Gunslinger is unable to track him visually and tries to find Martin using its infra-red scanners. Martin stands behind the flaming torches of the Great Hall to mask his presence from the robot, before setting it on fire with one of the torches. The burned shell of the Gunslinger attacks him on the dungeon steps before succumbing to its damage.

Westworld | Sometime in the near future a high-tech, highly realistic adult amusement park called Delos features three themed "worlds"Â â West World (the American Old West), Medieval World (medieval Europe), and Roman World (the ancient Roman city of Pompeii). The resort's three "worlds" are populated with lifelike androids that are practically indistinguishable from human beings, each programmed in character for their assigned historical environment. For $1,000 per day, guests may indulge in any adventure with the android population of the park, including sexual encounters and even a fight to the death. Delos' tagline in its advertising promises, "Boy, have we got a vacation for you!"
Peter Martin (Benjamin), a first-time Delos visitor, and his friend John Blane (Brolin), on a repeat visit, go to West World. One of the attractions is the Gunslinger (Brynner), a robot programmed to instigate gunfights. The firearms issued to the park guests have temperature sensors that prevent them from shooting humans or anything with a high body temperature but allow them to 'kill' the cold-blooded androids. The Gunslinger's programming allows guests to draw their guns and kill it, with the robot always returning the next day for another duel.

The firearms issued to the park guests have temperature sensors that prevent them from shooting humans or anything with a high body temperature but allow them to 'kill' the cold-blooded androids. The Gunslinger's programming allows guests to draw their guns and kill it, with the robot always returning the next day for another duel.
The technicians running Delos notice problems beginning to spread like an infection among the androids: the robots in Roman World and Medieval World begin experiencing an increasing number of breakdowns and systemic failures, which are said to have spread to West World. When one of the supervising computer scientists scoffs at the "analogy of an infectious disease," he is told by the Chief Supervisor (Alan Oppenheimer), "We aren't dealing with ordinary machines here. These are highly complicated pieces of equipment, almost as complicated as living organisms. In some cases, they've been designed by other computers. We don't know exactly how they work."
The malfunctions become more serious when a robotic rattlesnake bites Blane in West World, and, against its programming, an android refuses a guest's advances in Medieval World. The failures escalate until Medieval World's Black Knight robot kills a guest in a swordfight. The resort's supervisors try to regain control by shutting down power to the entire park. However, the shutdown traps them in Central Control when the doors automatically lock, unable to turn the power back on and escape. Meanwhile, the robots in all three worlds run amok, operating on reserve power.
Martin and Blane, passed out drunk after a bar-room brawl, wake up in West World's bordello, unaware of the park's massive breakdown. When the Gunslinger challenges the men to a showdown, Blane treats the confrontation as an amusement until the robot outdraws, shoots and mortally wounds him. Martin runs for his life and the robot implacably follows.
Martin flees to the other areas of the park, but finds only dead guests, damaged robots, and a panicked technician attempting to escape Delos who is shortly thereafter shot by the Gunslinger. Martin climbs down through a manhole in Roman World into the underground control complex and discovers that the resort's computer technicians suffocated in the Control Room when the ventilation system shut down. The Gunslinger stalks him through the underground corridors so he runs away until he enters a robot-repair lab. When the Gunslinger comes into the room, Martin pretends to be a robot, throws acid into its face, and flees, returning to the surface inside the Medieval World castle.
With its optical inputs damaged by the acid, the Gunslinger is unable to track him visually and tries to find Martin using its infra-red scanners. Martin stands behind the flaming torches of the Great Hall to mask his presence from the robot, before setting it on fire with one of the torches. The burned shell of the Gunslinger attacks him on the dungeon steps before succumbing to its damage. Martin sits on the dungeon steps in a state of near-exhaustion and shock, as the irony of Delos' slogan resonates: "Boy, have we got a vacation for you!" | What is Medieval World? | Medieval Europe | 180 | 195 |
Westworld | Sometime in the near future a high-tech, highly realistic adult amusement park called Delos features three themed "worlds"Â â West World (the American Old West), Medieval World (medieval Europe), and Roman World (the ancient Roman city of Pompeii). The resort's three "worlds" are populated with lifelike androids that are practically indistinguishable from human beings, each programmed in character for their assigned historical environment. For $1,000 per day, guests may indulge in any adventure with the android population of the park, including sexual encounters and even a fight to the death.

In Canada, novelist Yann Martel meets Pi Patel, whom he has been told has a life story that would be a good subject for a book. Pi tells his story to Yann:
Pi's father names him Piscine Molitor after the swimming pool in France. In secondary school in Pondicherry, he adopts the name "Pi" (the Greek letter, Ï) to avoid the sound-alike nickname "Pissing Patel". He is raised Hindu and vegetarian, but at 12 years old, is introduced to Christianity and then Islam, and decides to follow all three religions as he "just wants to love God". His mother supports his desire to grow, but his father, a rationalist, tries to convert him. Pi's family owns a zoo, and Pi takes interest in the animals, especially a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. After Pi gets dangerously close to Richard Parker, his father forces him to witness the tiger killing a goat.
When Pi is 16, his father announces that they must move to Canada, where he intends to settle and sell the animals. The family books passage with the animals on a Japanese freighter. During a storm, the ship founders while Pi is on deck. He tries to find his family, but a member of the crew throws him into a lifeboat. A freed zebra jumps onto the boat with him, breaking its leg as it lands. The ship sinks, killing the crew and his family. Pi sees what appears to be a survivor, but it turns out to be Richard Parker, which evades his efforts to keep him out of the boat.
After the storm, Pi awakens in the lifeboat with the zebra, and is shortly joined by a surviving orangutan. A spotted hyena emerges from a tarpaulin covering half of the lifeboat and snaps at Pi, forcing him to retreat to the end of the boat. It kills the zebra and later the orangutan. Richard Parker emerges from under the tarpaulin, killing the hyena and attempting to kill Pi, before retreating back to cover for several days.
Pi fashions a small tethered raft from flotation vests which he retreats to for safety from Richard Parker. Despite his moral code against killing, he begins fishing, enabling him to sustain the tiger as well. When the tiger jumps into the sea to hunt for fish, Pi considers letting him drown, but ultimately helps him back into the boat. One night, a humpback whale breaches near the boat, destroying the raft and its supplies. Pi trains Richard Parker to accept him in the boat, and realizes that caring for the tiger is also keeping himself alive.
Weeks later they encounter a floating island of interconnected trees. It is a lush jungle of edible plants, fresh water pools and a large population of meerkats, enabling Pi and Richard Parker to eat and drink freely and regain strength. At night, the island transforms into a hostile environment. Richard Parker retreats to the lifeboat while Pi and the meerkats sleep in the trees; the water pools turn acidic, digesting the fish in them. Pi deduces that the island is carnivorous after finding a human tooth embedded in a flower.
Pi and Richard Parker leave the island, and eventually reach the coast of Mexico. Pi is saddened that Richard Parker does not acknowledge him before disappearing into the jungle. He is rescued and brought to a hospital. Insurance agents for the Japanese freighter company interview him, but do not believe his story and ask what "really" happened. He tells a different story, in which the animals are replaced by human survivors of the shipwreck: his mother for the orangutan, an amiable sailor for the zebra, and the ship's brutish cook for the hyena. In this story, Pi kills the cook and feeds on his flesh until he reaches Mexico. The insurance agents are not satisfied with this story either, but they leave without questioning Pi further.
Yann recognizes the parallels between the two stories, noting that in the second one, Pi fills the role of the tiger. Pi asks which story the writer prefers, and Yann chooses the first, to which Pi replies, "and so it goes with God". Glancing at a copy of the insurance report, Yann sees that the agents also chose the first story. | What did Pi find that made him think the island is carnivorous? | Human tooth | 3,125 | 3,136 |

In Canada, novelist Yann Martel meets Pi Patel, whom he has been told has a life story that would be a good subject for a book. Pi tells his story to Yann:
Pi's father names him Piscine Molitor after the swimming pool in France. In secondary school in Pondicherry, he adopts the name "Pi" (the Greek letter, Ï) to avoid the sound-alike nickname "Pissing Patel". He is raised Hindu and vegetarian, but at 12 years old, is introduced to Christianity and then Islam, and decides to follow all three religions as he "just wants to love God". His mother supports his desire to grow, but his father, a rationalist, tries to convert him. Pi's family owns a zoo, and Pi takes interest in the animals, especially a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. After Pi gets dangerously close to Richard Parker, his father forces him to witness the tiger killing a goat.
When Pi is 16, his father announces that they must move to Canada, where he intends to settle and sell the animals. The family books passage with the animals on a Japanese freighter. During a storm, the ship founders while Pi is on deck. He tries to find his family, but a member of the crew throws him into a lifeboat. A freed zebra jumps onto the boat with him, breaking its leg as it lands. The ship sinks, killing the crew and his family. Pi sees what appears to be a survivor, but it turns out to be Richard Parker, which evades his efforts to keep him out of the boat.
After the storm, Pi awakens in the lifeboat with the zebra, and is shortly joined by a surviving orangutan. A spotted hyena emerges from a tarpaulin covering half of the lifeboat and snaps at Pi, forcing him to retreat to the end of the boat. It kills the zebra and later the orangutan. Richard Parker emerges from under the tarpaulin, killing the hyena and attempting to kill Pi, before retreating back to cover for several days.
Pi fashions a small tethered raft from flotation vests which he retreats to for safety from Richard Parker. Despite his moral code against killing, he begins fishing, enabling him to sustain the tiger as well. When the tiger jumps into the sea to hunt for fish, Pi considers letting him drown, but ultimately helps him back into the boat. One night, a humpback whale breaches near the boat, destroying the raft and its supplies. Pi trains Richard Parker to accept him in the boat, and realizes that caring for the tiger is also keeping himself alive.
Weeks later they encounter a floating island of interconnected trees. It is a lush jungle of edible plants, fresh water pools and a large population of meerkats, enabling Pi and Richard Parker to eat and drink freely and regain strength. At night, the island transforms into a hostile environment. Richard Parker retreats to the lifeboat while Pi and the meerkats sleep in the trees; the water pools turn acidic, digesting the fish in them. Pi deduces that the island is carnivorous after finding a human tooth embedded in a flower.

In Canada, novelist Yann Martel meets Pi Patel, whom he has been told has a life story that would be a good subject for a book. Pi tells his story to Yann:
Pi's father names him Piscine Molitor after the swimming pool in France. In secondary school in Pondicherry, he adopts the name "Pi" (the Greek letter, Ï) to avoid the sound-alike nickname "Pissing Patel". He is raised Hindu and vegetarian, but at 12 years old, is introduced to Christianity and then Islam, and decides to follow all three religions as he "just wants to love God". His mother supports his desire to grow, but his father, a rationalist, tries to convert him. Pi's family owns a zoo, and Pi takes interest in the animals, especially a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. After Pi gets dangerously close to Richard Parker, his father forces him to witness the tiger killing a goat.
When Pi is 16, his father announces that they must move to Canada, where he intends to settle and sell the animals. The family books passage with the animals on a Japanese freighter. During a storm, the ship founders while Pi is on deck. He tries to find his family, but a member of the crew throws him into a lifeboat. A freed zebra jumps onto the boat with him, breaking its leg as it lands. The ship sinks, killing the crew and his family. Pi sees what appears to be a survivor, but it turns out to be Richard Parker, which evades his efforts to keep him out of the boat.
After the storm, Pi awakens in the lifeboat with the zebra, and is shortly joined by a surviving orangutan. A spotted hyena emerges from a tarpaulin covering half of the lifeboat and snaps at Pi, forcing him to retreat to the end of the boat. It kills the zebra and later the orangutan. Richard Parker emerges from under the tarpaulin, killing the hyena and attempting to kill Pi, before retreating back to cover for several days.
Pi fashions a small tethered raft from flotation vests which he retreats to for safety from Richard Parker. Despite his moral code against killing, he begins fishing, enabling him to sustain the tiger as well. When the tiger jumps into the sea to hunt for fish, Pi considers letting him drown, but ultimately helps him back into the boat. One night, a humpback whale breaches near the boat, destroying the raft and its supplies. Pi trains Richard Parker to accept him in the boat, and realizes that caring for the tiger is also keeping himself alive.
Weeks later they encounter a floating island of interconnected trees. It is a lush jungle of edible plants, fresh water pools and a large population of meerkats, enabling Pi and Richard Parker to eat and drink freely and regain strength. At night, the island transforms into a hostile environment. Richard Parker retreats to the lifeboat while Pi and the meerkats sleep in the trees; the water pools turn acidic, digesting the fish in them. Pi deduces that the island is carnivorous after finding a human tooth embedded in a flower.
Pi and Richard Parker leave the island, and eventually reach the coast of Mexico. Pi is saddened that Richard Parker does not acknowledge him before disappearing into the jungle. He is rescued and brought to a hospital. Insurance agents for the Japanese freighter company interview him, but do not believe his story and ask what "really" happened. He tells a different story, in which the animals are replaced by human survivors of the shipwreck: his mother for the orangutan, an amiable sailor for the zebra, and the ship's brutish cook for the hyena.
