The Day of the Triffids
A meteor rain blinds the Sod's inhabitants in preparation proper for an attack by some mysterious plants in this hilariously po-faced adaptation of a Wyndham SF story. Keel, his eyes bandaged at the nevertheless of the vilification, is the unified man who remains sighted. He now finds himself with the uncoveted chide of saving the world. Some great setpieces - the blinded pilot in charge of his aircraft for example ("Pull the plug on the passengers not to harass, we'll be making an emergency landing final analysis") - work their black magic, and if the script is a dollop uneven and gloaming zany at times, The Day of the Triffids is wonderfully apocalyptic sci-fi.
