Nonlinear interaction of the powerful terahertz radiation pulse with metal nanofilm is investigated. Quantitative analysis of the nonlinear interaction is illustrated by an example of an aluminum film of a thickness of several tens of nanometers. Rapid heating of the conduction electrons and the lattice causes significant rise of the effective electron collision frequency. This implies a noticeable change in reflectivity and an increase of transmissivity by an order of magnitude.
