Kennt ihr die Serie eigentlich noch? Lief in den 80ern auf ZDF und wurde nie wieder wiederholt. Habs als Kind gesehen und war echt beängstigt. Würde mich freuen, wieder mal ein paar Folgen zu sehen!!!

Touchstone Buys Tripods Rights
Touchstone Pictures bought the film rights to John Christopher's popular juvenile SF series The Tripods Trilogy, according to Variety. The series, which includes the books The White Mountains, The City of Gold and The Pool of Fire, is set in the 21st century, years after the alien Tripods have conquered Earth.
The Tripods enslave humanity by means of mind-control devices that are implanted in every person over the age of 15. The three young protagonists of the story set out to discover the secret of the Tripods and save Earth before they themselves can be turned into slaves.
The first Tripod book was published in 1967, and in 1984 the series as whole was adapted for TV by the BBC. Christopher, whose real name is Sam Youd, sold his first science fiction story in 1949 and has since published more than 50 novels.
