Recapping Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes involves the titular fruits gaining sentience and attacking humans. The Press Secretary tries to convince everyone that the attacks aren’t an issue. But the President assembles a task force, anyway, led by a man named Dixon. The team spreads to take on the tomatoes, but most of them end up dead. At the same time, Dixon contends with a mysterious person trying to assassinate him.

Dixon eventually finds himself captured by the White House Press Secretary, Jim Richardson. Richardson reveals he has learned to control the tomatoes despite not creating them. And he plans to use them to gain control of their civilization. Dixon manages to get free and then discovers the tomatoes despise a specific current song. The fruits are soon corralled and weakened by the tune before getting squished to death.

A Sequel in the Making

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes became a box office success despite apprehensions from critics. Viewers, on the other hand, were entertained by the movie’s campy nature and silliness. Either way, its success led to the creation of numerous sequels. And a new one’s on the way, and it’s bringing an interesting twist.

A teaser trailer for this movie debuted at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. It featured the adolescent prodigy CEO of a company called VegIntel. She’s presenting her newest invention, an Alexa-esque ‘smart tomato’ dubbed the MyTomato. She also explains it will make people’s lives more convenient and protect their private data. Other than that, the preview doesn’t reveal much about the film’s overall premise.

There’ll also be a wide cast that includes actors like David Koechner and John Astin. Lastly, various studios are overseeing its production, with Anchor Bay Entertainment handling its theatrical release.
