Plot: A shower of meteorites produces a glow that blinds anyone that looks at it. As it was such a beautiful sight, most people were watching, and as a consequence, 99% of the population go blind. In the original novel, this chaos results in the escape of some Triffids: experimental plants that are capable of moving themselves around and attacking people. In the film version, however, the Triffids are not experimental plants. Instead they are space aliens whose spores have arrived in an earlier meteor shower.

Trivia: There are 3 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- The triffids inspired the E.T. plants of E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
- When the film was finished it was too short, so the entire sequence where the triffids attack the lighthouse was added.
- Although credited with "additional music", composer Johnny Douglas actually supplied more music than the main composer, Ron Goodwin. According to the official music cue sheets, Douglas wrote 26 mins, Goodwin 19 minutes
