The Puppet Masters (film)

The Puppet Masters is a 1994 science fiction film, adapted by Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio, and David S. Goyer from Robert A. Heinleins 1951 novel of the same title, in which a trio of American government agents attempts to thwart a covert invasion of Earth by mindcontrolling alien parasites. The film was directed by Stuart Orme and stars Donald Sutherland, Eric Thal, Keith David, Julie Warner, and Andrew Robinson.

The screenplay went through a number of rewrites due to differences between the writers, Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott, who wanted to remain faithful to the Heinlein classic and executives at Disney who wanted an adaptation that they could sell. As a result, the final script leaves out some elements of the novel, while following the basic plot quite closely.Reviews were negative, as The Puppet Masters holds a rating ofon Rotten Tomatoes based onreviews. ........
