While returning to Earth, the space shuttle explodes and the fragments bring an alien virus that recodes the human DNA.

Together with her friend Dr. Ben Driscoll the researcher Dr. Stephen Galeano, they discover that the extraterrestrial epidemic affects human beings while sleeping and that her son Ollie, who had chickenpox when he was a baby, is immune to the disease and may save mankind from the outbreak.

Trivia
While filming in Baltimore, Daniel Craig got the call from 'Barbara Broccoli (I)' informing him he won the role of James Bond. He had to take a short period off shooting to fly back to London for the Casino Royale (2006) press release. See more »Goofs
When Carol is in her office and is discovering that certain diseases make people immune to the virus, she states that the white matter in the brain being changed is what provides immunity. When she phones the Biologist and tells him her theory, he agrees with it. However, when repeating her idea back to her, he says that changes in neurons are what provides immunity. White matter is not composed of neurons, however, and these words are not synonymous. See more »Quotes

We went to see this last night. After all of the horrific reviews, I was expecting a real P.O.S. I was pleasantly surprised. While not to say it was an AWESOME movie or anything. It was good Sci Fi fun. I get irritated when a lot of movie buffs are looking for every film to be a Gone with the Wind or something. This was just a fun, smooth, entertaining production. I've never been a real fan of Nicole kidman, but I must say, she was quite fetching in this movie. If you are looking for the 50's version of War of the Worlds..The forbidden planet..John Carpenter's the THING...etc..it doesn't qualify. If you are looking for a fun Sci Fi Thriller to watch, it does the job.
