In a mysterious nearby forest, a group of
mercenaries are attacked. A scientist, Dr. Krieger, watches this from a secret
research facility, obviously pleased with the results of his work, which is the
cause of the death (which is unknown) of the mercenaries. In Seattle, a veteran
newspaper editor makes arrangements to send his two archrival reporters, Tom
Moore and Valerie Constantine, to check out the mysterious reports coming from
an island in the Pacific Northwest. Once on the island, it doesn’t take long for
the duo and their Captain, Jack Carver (Schweiger), to find trouble. The main
mercenary commander Maria Sanchez immediately tries to capture them. Valerie and
Jack manage to escape but Tom is killed. The mercenaries are hot on their heels
and Valerie and Jack argue about their plan. Jack wants to get off the island as
quickly as possible by reaching his friend Emilio. Valerie, a seasoned reporter,
wants to gather more evidence for her story. After several dramatic chases and
an encounter with the strange creatures, Valerie, Jack and Emilio are captured
and brought to Kreiger. Krieger wants Valerie to join him in reporting his
accomplishments to the world. Meanwhile, in the lab, the creature escapes and
tries to kill Jack. Jack and Emilio manage to elude the creature but others in
the compound are not as lucky. The creature corners Valerie and she narrowly
escapes death as Emilio and Jack reach her just in time. The loss of control
sends Sanchez into a fury. Jack and Valerie are pursued by Sanchez as they make
a frantic attempt to get off the island and alert the world. |
