American Monster (1982)
Auf mysteriöse Weise verschwinden in New York immer wieder Menschen von Dächern. Die Polizei ist ratlos, denn niemand ahnt, dass sich im obersten Stockwerk des Chrysler-Buildings ein fliegendes Monstrum, eine zwanzig Meter lange geflügelte Schlange, eingenistet hat und in der Stadt nach Opfern sucht. Ein kleiner Ganove findet das Nest des Monsters und versucht, Geld aus der Sache herauszuschlagen. Dabei gerät er selbst in Gefahr, als eine aztekische Sekte, die das Ungeheuer möglicherweise heraufbeschworen hat, ihn als Zielscheibe nimmt.
