The Monitors (film)
''The Monitors'' is a 1969 U.S. satirical science fiction film. Shot in Chicago, it was the first film production of the city's Second City comedy troupe and was coproduced and financed by the Bell and Howell film-equipment manufacturing company (then based in nearby Skokie) in an effort to establish Chicago as a film production center.〔"(The Monitors: Review )". ''TV Guide''. CBS Interactive. Retrieved January 22, 2014.〕 It is based on the novel of the same name by Keith Laumer.
==Synopsis==
Earth has been taken over by a benign group of aliens known as the Monitors, gentlemanly figures clad in black overcoats and bowler hats. They are dedicated to suppressing humanity's propensities for violence, sex, war, and trouble, enforcing their ethos with spray cans of a pacifying gas and with television ads praising the Monitors' rule—the latter featuring cameos by a variety of comedic actors, as well as bandleader Xavier Cugat and Illinois senator Everett Dirksen (who died before the film's release).
A conflict with the Monitors, inspired by the outrageous antics of a street preacher (Larry Storch), leads to the flight of movie actress Barbara (Susan Oliver), who is a somewhat reluctant collaborator with the Monitors, along with free-lance pilot Harry (Guy Stockwell) and Harry's brother Max (Avery Schreiber), and their spiriting away by the "preacher", who turns out to be a leader of S.C.R.A.G., or "Secret Counter Retalitorial Group", an anti-Monitor resistance group.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://cultfilms53.wordpress.com/the-monitors-1969/3-the-monitors/ )〕 After a series of vicissitudes, with Harry among the Monitors and Barbara and Max among the S.C.R.A.G. forces, the principals are reunited and, minus Barbara, fly off to Washington, D.C., in an attempt to foil a S.C.R.A.G. plot to bomb Monitor headquarters.
The Monitors, who have been aware of all these events, have decided that human beings are not worthy of their leadership, and they depart. Humanity is free to return to its violent and corrupt ways.
