A big-budget retelling of John Wyndham's classic science fiction tale. When most of the population of the planet is struck blind by a solar flare, they struggle to survive -- a struggle made all the more difficult by the increasing dominance of the Triffids, a carnivorous and ambulatory plant species that was previously harvested for oil.

It is 2020. Findings by environmental scientist Professor Thom Archer suggest that Halo, the corporate energy company drilling on the Greenland Glacier are causing it to melt. Archer's warnings are ignored, so he heads to the Arctic to find indisputable evidence. Upon arrival, he realizes humankind is under immediate threat, and races home to save his family. The glacier collapses, with devastating consequences. (imdb)
