San Francisco is a major American city located in the U.S. state of California. The city is named for Saint Francis of Assisi and was founded on June 29th, 1776. It is the county seat of San Francisco count and the fourth most populous city in the state. San Francisco is a port city, known for being a major cultural and financial center. One of the city's most notable landmarks is the Golden Gate Bridge, which crosses the San Francisco Bay, linking San Francisco County with Marin County.

In the early 1970s, San Francisco was plagued by a string of bizarre killings orchestrated by a man that they media dubbed as the Scorpio Killer. SFPD homicide detective Harry Callahan was assigned to investigate the matter, in between trying to stop the occasional bank robber or even save a suicide jumper. [1]

In 1978, a parasitic alien organism comes to Earth and begins subverting the city's population by spawning clone duplicates grown from pods. A health inspector named Matthew Bennell and a small group of people try to expose and combat the threat, but they fail to stop a group of "pod people" from sending high volumes of pod sees on tankers bound for other ports of call. In this, San Francisco proved to be ground zero for an invasion that soon overwhelmed the entire world.
