The Strangers

The Strangers are the main antagonists of the movie, "Dark City". They're a dying alien race determined to save their race and find out what makes humans so special. The Strangers history is not touched on that much but it is said that thay're a dying race that want to become like humans so they can adapt.

Spoiler alert!
This section may spoil the story. In the beginning parts of the movie not much is know about them but as time goes on a bit more is explained about them like hoe they're dying and whatnot. For most of the story they try to imprint John Murdoch, the protagonist, with the correct memory in order to get him back under control, but as time goes on they later try to become like him because they find out that John gained the ability to tune which shows that he is evolving/adapting to survive in the city. At the end Dr. Schreber gives John an imprint which gives John full control of the tuning ability, and the he gets into a fight with Mr. Book and kills him and then later all, except one, of The Strangers.
