Us is a nightmarish story with elements of home invasion, duplicates, class struggle and questions of identity as a successful man and his family are besieged by murderous doubles called the Tethered who are furious about how they have lived opposite lives of misery and destitution. Solid acting, scary premise, a nod to the 80s and such paranoia movies as Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Thing make this Jordan Peele film worth seeing and remembering! It's effectively creepy! Enjoy.

Factual error: The scene where Pluto gets burned takes place at the Santa Cruz Natural History Museum, directly east of the Beach Boardwalk. In order to drive to the boardwalk in the scene immediately afterward, the Wilsons would have to pass through the line of Tethers holding hands.

Adelaide Wilson: They look exactly like us. They think like us. They know where we are. We need to move and keep moving. They won't stop until they kill us... or we kill them.

Trivia: Spoilers: Among the video-tapes seen next to the TV after the opening credits are "C.H.U.D." and "The Goonies." This is quite relevant to the plot, in which it is revealed that the doppelgangers come from beneath the ground in a series of tunnels that used to be run by the government. "C.H.U.D." is about mutant creatures that live underground and have began to rise up and attack, like the doppelgangers, and "Goonies" takes place largely in underground tunnels and caverns, much like the film's climax.

Question: Why did the government want to control the populace by creating millions of clones of them?

Trainman

Answer: The government's intent was to create completely controllable and compliant clones to do whatever they wanted them to do. Their plan did not work out, however.
