On this day, October 30, 1981, Looker, directed by Michael Crichton, premiered in theaters. Starring Albert Finney, James Coburn, and Susan Dey, the sci-fi thriller explores the eerie world of high-tech advertising and digital manipulation, with a plot centered around mysterious deaths tied to a cutting-edge tech company. Although it had a modest box office performance, earning $3.2 million, Looker remains a cult classic for its futuristic themes and Crichton’s visionary storytelling.

Who remembers Looker? Did its take on technology and advertising intrigue you?
