"V" is a 1983 science fiction film directed by Kenneth Johnson. The film tells the story of an alien race, the Visitors, who arrive on Earth and claim to come in peace, but are revealed to have a sinister and dangerous agenda.

The film follows a small resistance group, led by TV journalist Mike Donovan (Marc Singer), as they try to expose the Visitors and stop their plan to take over the world. Along the way, the group discovers that the Visitors are actually reptiles in disguise, and must use their cunning and bravery to defeat them and save humanity.

"V" was a commercial and critical success upon its release, and is widely regarded as one of the classic science fiction films of the 1980s. The film's themes of government paranoia, media manipulation, and the dangers of totalitarianism have made it a timeless and relevant commentary on modern society.

The film was followed by a popular television series, "V: The Series," which continued the story of the Visitors and the resistance, and expanded upon the film's themes and characters. Today, "V" remains a beloved and influential work of science fiction, and is celebrated for its suspenseful storytelling, memorable characters, and powerful message of hope in the face of adversity.
