What happens

The Visitors is a 1972 American drama film directed by Elia Kazan and starring James Woods in his debut. It was entered into the 1972 Cannes Film Festival. Kazan used an article written by Daniel Lang for The New Yorker in 1969, and Lang's subsequent book Casualties of War, as a jumping-off point for this film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
