Story: A young woman (previously unkonwn model Tippi Hedren) goes to Bodega Bay, California, a small seaside village, to visit a man she just met and might be falling in love with (Rod Taylor). Unfortunately, her timing is rather poor, as she visits just as all the common, ordinary, everyday birds in the area decide to attack people en masse. We're not talking about big scary eagles, vultures, condors, and hawks; we're talking about crows, seagulls, sparrows, starlings, etc. They are coordinated, they are vicious and they are lethal. If that doesn't sound possible, watch the movie. We never know why they did this, or how widespread the attack is, or why it eventually stops. That just adds to the suspense, as the people wouldn't know those things either, if it were to actually occur.
