Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a
discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by a crew of
international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentally unleashed at this marooned colony, has
the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, but inside,
it remains inhuman. In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of
researchers as they're infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet.

Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for
the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across
an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have
died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up.

When a simple experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew's pilot,
Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense
land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries
to survive and flourish.

The Thing serves as a prelude to John Carpenter's classic 1982 film of the same name.
