- Synopsis:
- Following the Earth's close encounter with a comet, a meteor shower strikes Britain's population blind. Bill Masen (John Duttine), recovering in a London hospital from a vicious plant attack, is one of a few to survive with eyesight intact. The world he emerges into has been terrifyingly altered. The government has collapsed, bands of renegades are thriving in the anarchy - and a hostile carnivorous form of plant life, the Triffids, have begun to prey on the weakened and vulnerable human population. For Masen, life is now a desperate struggle...
