Curtis plays the navigator of a tugboat crew, which loses its cargo during a hurricane. In the calm eye of the storm, they come across a Russian research ship floating dead on the water. Boarding the vessel, they initially believe it to be deserted, but they soon realise they're not alone. First, they discover a terrified survivor, and then they find that the ship has been taken over by a ruthless alien intelligence. Now, the small band must fight for their lives against a force that has come to claim Earth for its own, and creates bio-mechanical monstrosities with one goal: eliminating the virus called humans.
Donald Sutherland and William Baldwin also star in a film featuring horrifying special effects by the artists behind 'Jurassic Park', 'Species' and 'Starship Troopers'.
