The Blob

In a small American town, a meteorite crashes near a teenage couple on a date, releasing a mysterious gelatinous substance—the Blob. The curious couple investigates, and they unwittingly unleash the entity. It immediately demonstrates its dangerous capability when it consumes a homeless man who touched it first, growing in size with each person it absorbs. The local rebel, Brian Flagg, encounters the couple as they seek help for the injured man, and they rush him to the hospital.

At the hospital, the Blob consumes the injured man, proving to be not just a hazard but a voracious predator. The medical staff and the teenagers witness the Blob's destructive appetite firsthand. As they struggle to understand and survive, they alert the authorities. The local police and government scientists descend upon the town, but their efforts are hindered by skepticism and bureaucratic inefficiency. Meanwhile, the Blob continues to grow and consume, moving through the sewers and popping up to claim more victims, threatening to overtake the entire town.
