A shower of meteorites produces a glow that blinds anyone that looks at it. As it was such a beautiful sight, most people were watching, and as a consequence, 99% of the population go blind. In the original novel, this chaos results in the escape of some Triffids: experimental plants that are capable of moving themselves around and attacking people. In the film version, however, the Triffids are not experimental plants. Instead they are space aliens whose spores have arrived in an earlier meteor shower.

Thank you! :)
First of 3 versions made, from the Wyndham novel. Despite still more in the way of budgetary limitations, I’d say the 2nd. version, from 1981 — https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081850/ — serialized by the BBC, was by far the best.
