Invasion of The Body Snatchers opens across the U.S. in 1978. The remake continues the Cold War paranoia of the 1956 classic but with more 1970s anxieties. Starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, and Jeff Goldblum, the film is a hit at the box office, and though it receives mixed reviews at the time, it has become a well-regarded remake.
