Synopsis:

Someone is kidnapping parachutists - while they're still in the air! The army are baffled and call in ace air investigator Bob Megan (Patrick Allen) to solve the mystery and find the missing men. Bob has a more personal mystery to solve too: he meets a strange and beautiful woman who fascinates him, then vanishes. He soon realises that both his cases are connected - and that aliens are involved! Starring Academy Award winner George Sanders (All About Eve), Broadway legend Maurice Evans (Planet of the Apes) and Neil Connery (brother of Sir Sean), The Body Stealers is an enormously entertaining slice of groovy sixties sci-fi.

A British military paratrooper disappears in mid-air during a jump from an army plane. Two investigators, Patrick Allen and Neil Connery, try to unravel how this happened. What they uncover is an alien plot to steal the bodies of earthlings by snatching them out of the air.

Alternatively titled 'Thin Air' and 'Invasion of the Body Stealers', this effort from British horror merchants Tigon Productions begins with the unlikely premise of aliens snatching a group of paratroopers out of the air during a parachute jump.
