A meteorite crashes near the town of Arborville, California. An elderly transient discovers, within the sphere, a jelly-like substance (the Blob) that attaches itself to his hand. Three high-schoolers, Brian (Kevin Dillon), Meg (Shawnee Smith) and Paul (Donovan Leitch), encounter the man and take him to a hospital. After Brian leaves, Paul witnesses the transient melting from exposure to the Blob. As he calls for help, the Blob drops on top of him. Meg arrives to see Paul being consumed by the growing Blob. The Blob oozes out of the hospital.
After Brian and Meg have unsatisfactory encounters with the police, they meet at a diner where Meg tells Brian about the Blob. Brian’s disbelief is shattered when the diner’s handyman is sucked down a sink by the Blob. It pursues them to the diner’s walk-in freezer where it retreats because it cannot tolerate cold. After eating the diner’s owner and the town’s sheriff, the Blob reenters the sewers.
Meg and Brian return to the police station, where the dispatcher tells them Deputy Briggs (Paul McCrane) is near the meteor-landing site. They discover a military operation led by a scientist, Dr. Meddows (Joe Seneca), who orders the town quarantined. Brian escapes a military van and collects his motorbike.
Meg is taken to town where she learns her younger brother Kevin (Michael Kenworthy) is missing. Meg learns he and his friend Eddie (Douglas Emerson) have sneaked into the local theater to see a slasher film thanks to Eddie’s usher brother Antony (Jamison Newlander). The Blob infiltrates the theater and attacks the staff (including Antony) and then the audience. Meg just manages to rescue Eddie and Kevin. Read more
