Synopsis
Beauty can hide the deadliest dangers, and curiosity about the stars may be the most dangerous thing of all. Roger Donaldson's sci-fi thriller "Species" begins when scientists use DNA instructions received from outer space to create a human-alien hybrid. When the experiment, Sil (Natasha Henstridge, with a young Michelle Williams as her younger self), escapes from a top-secret lab, government scientist Xavier Fitch (Ben Kingsley) assembles a team to hunt her down: mercenary Press Lennox (Michael Madsen), anthropologist Stephen Arden (Alfred Molina), empath Dan Smithson (Forest Whitaker) and biologist Laura Baker (Marg Helgenberger). They must stop Sil before she fulfills her terrifying biological drive to reproduce and create offspring that could wipe out humanity. With creature designs by H.R. Giger and effects from Oscar winner Richard Edlund, it's a slick, suspenseful ride.
