Kingsley heads up a task force consisting of Michael Madsen, Alfred Molina, Marg Helgenberger and Forest Whitaker, each a specialist in a different field. We then learn she is in fact a genetic experiment, a mixing of extraterrestrial and human DNA. She is immediately pursued by dozens of soldiers, but manages to elude them. Only she escapes by showing some super human strength. In a lab we see a cold scientist (Ben Kingsley) overseeing the murder of a young girl (Michelle Williams), imprisoned in a glass case. Maybe people just don't have a sense of humour. Why it gets slammed so much is beyond me. Is it silly, trashy, but FUN b-grade exploitation SF in the tradition of Tobe Hooper's 'Lifeforce'? You bet!

Unfortunately, she escapes and within just a matter of days has attained full adulthood. The scientists are then shocked by the rapid rate of growth from the humanoid creature and fearing that they may have rushed too quickly into this experiment decide to destroy the young female before it can mature. Using information received from an extra-terrestrial radio transmission, scientists on earth are able to reconstruct alien DNA and then inject it into a human egg in accordance with the instructions from their source.
