Plot
At a research station in Antarctica, the helicopter pilot MacReady lands and shows a tape he has found to the medic, Doc. A researcher, Max, arrives towing a mysterious object in a block of ice, and it is brought inside. Max is instructed to watch the object while MacReady calls the rest of the crew to check out the tape, which shows scientists preparing to excavate what looks like a spaceship from under the ice. Max ties down the block of ice but is feeling cold so turns up the heat, and the ice begins to melt.
