If you loved The Satan Bug, try Ice Station Zebra

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by John Sturges, and they sit in Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Satan Bug, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ice Station Zebra is

Arctic ice crunching beneath boots, winter's darkness, a mangled satellite lies still. A British research station falls silent, its distress signals fading. John Sturges directs this Cold War era thriller.
