Natasha Henstridge stars in this sci-fi horror directed by Roger Donaldson. In 1974 scientists use the world's largest radio telescope to send messages into outer space. 20 years later they receive a message containing instructions on how to mix human and alien DNA to form a new species. The scientists create Sil (Henstridge) but she escapes from the observation facility. She must be stopped before she mates with a human male and creates a new species which could overwhelm mankind. A team is assembled to destroy her led by scientist Xavier Fitch (Ben Kingsley) and including assassin Preston Lennox (Michael Madsen), biologist Laura Baker (Marg Helgenberger), anthropologist Stephen Arden (Alfred Molina) and empath Dan Smithson (Forest Whitaker).
