After the mysterious crash of a millionaire's private plane, scientists secretly harvest the dying man's brain and keep it alive in a laboratory in order to communicate via telepathy.
A giant, disembodied brain arrives on Earth from outer space, seeking to take over the world. It uses a serum to paralyze humans, making them susceptible to its control. A retired retired police commissioner and his family must find a way to stop the alien entity before it enslaves all of humanity.
The Brain is a cult classic of 1960s science fiction cinema, often praised for its inventive premise and campy charm, despite its low budget and B-movie roots. While not a critical darling upon release, it has gained a dedicated following over the years for its unique concept and memorable imagery.
Google audience: Audience reception on Google is largely unavailable, but the film is generally viewed as a fun, if somewhat dated, slice of 1960s sci-fi that appeals to fans of the genre's more quirky offerings.
The film's director, Jack Harris, also produced the similarly themed 1958 film 'The Blob'.
