The plot of “The Birds” follows the story of Melanie Daniels, portrayed by Tippi Hedren, a sophisticated and venturesome woman who finds herself involved in a series of strange events in a small coastal town in California. What begins as a chance encounter with a charming lawyer, Mitch Brenner, played by Rod Taylor, soon turns into a nightmare as the birds of the area start behaving unusually and aggressively. What follows is a crescendo of terror and tension as nature itself seems to revolt against humanity, attacking the inhabitants of the area for no apparent reason.
