VHS Description
“...the sci-fi thriller that literally takes the Frankenstein story to new heights and uncharted depths.”
-The New York Times
Seeking refuge in the eye of a violent typhoon, the crew of a crippled salvage tug makes a potentially profitable discovery. A Russian military vessel, loaded with hi-tech computer hardware worth millions in salvage fees, appears abandoned by its crew. After restoring power to the ship, greedy Captain Everton (Donald Sutherland) and his navigator “Kit” (Jamie Lee Curtis) encounter a lone scientist, scared (almost) to death. She begs them to turn the ship’s power back off. But - is it too late? The haggard tug crew has no idea that an alien life form holding the ship hostage not only feeds on electricity but thrives on developing new ways of killing the “virus” on earth known as man. Who will dominate in a fight to the death against a horrifying new strain of evil?
