Roger Donaldson directs this sexy slice of science fiction for MGM. In the early 1990's a Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence Project gets an answer from millions of millions mile away. If not disturbing, but eye opening, information details to scientists how to take alien DNA and splice it with human DNA. A creature(Natasha Henstridge)is formed and given the name Sil. This armor-plated creature, quick as a whisper, turns into a sensual vision of womanhood with one thing on her mind...reproduce. Sil manages to escape her containment and Xavier Fitch(Ben Kingsley), her primary creator, demands she be found and destroyed before she has the chance to breed.
Violence and strong sexuality are mixed with sci-fi sequences that sustains attention. Henstridge is making her acting debut and surrounded by an apt cast featuring: Michael Madsen, Marg Helgenberger, Forest Whitaker and Alfred Molina. And briefly, the young Sil is played by Michelle Williams.
