The film 'They Live' (1988) was directed by John Carpenter. The plot for the movie is based on the short story "Eight O’Clock in the Morning", by Ray Nelson, published in 1963. The film tapped into the fears of the 1980s regarding consumerism and economic decline. The portrayal of subliminal media advertising by a monied elite (the alien ruling class), and it's use to control human behaviour, is particularly powerful. The film is a cult classic and well worth viewing.
Below is the full film in 9 parts, shown on youtube.
