Village of the Giants is a 1965 science-fiction/comedy movie with many elements of the beach party film genre. It was produced, directed and written by Bert I. Gordon, and based loosely on H.G. Wells's book The Food of the Gods. The story revolves mostly around a chemical substance called "Goo", which causes giant growth in living things, and what happens after a gang of rebellious youngsters get their hands on it. The cast was mostly teens, or young actors playing teens, and The Beau Brummels and Freddy Cannon make musical guest appearances.

The movie was a low-budget exploitation film and not a huge hit (released mostly to drive-in as part of a double bill), but had some notable use of special effects and undoubted sex appeal, and went on to become a cult classic. The movie proved far more successful years later, when released on home video.

Village of the Giants takes place in fictional Hainesville, California. After crashing their car into a roadblock during a rainstorm, a group of partying, big-city teenagers (Fred, Pete, Rick, Harry, and their girlfriends Merrie, Elsa, Georgette and Jean) first indulge in a vigorous, playful mud-wrestling fight, then hike their way into town. Fred remembers meeting a girl from Hainesville named Nancy, and they decide to look her up.

Nancy, meanwhile, is with her boyfriend Mike, while her younger brother "Genius" plays with his chemistry set in the basement. When Genius causes an explosion, Nancy and Mike run downstairs to investigate. Genius is unhurt, but Mike notices a leftover substance from Genius's last experiment beginning to ooze from the top of a beaker. They note its composition, nicknaming it "Goo", and think no further of it. When the family cat begins to sample the Goo a few minutes later, he grows larger than a tiger, frightening Wolf, the dog (who eats some himself shortly afterward). Realizing the Goo caused the cat to grow, they next try it out on a pair of ducks, who also become gigantic. Mike speculates that the substance could be used on cattle and other food-bearing animals, and solve problems like world hunger – only to have the ducks escape a moment later. Genius goes to work to make more Goo, while Nancy and Mike pursue the missing ducks.
