Storyline

It's the 22nd century. Sam Asgarde, an ex-military pilot, is one of the few who survived a worldwide plague. He had to deliver a "drop" from his plane and has felt guilt ever since. He faces the biggest challenge of his life when he must save the world from a religious cult leader who wishes to eradicate all survivors except for a chosen few. However, Sam knows that there is a wondrous woman, Karuy, who is a mysterious and perhaps extraterrestrial woman, yet who loves him, and might be able to solve his problems -- if only he can save her life.

Trivia

In some scenes, Sullivan as Sam Asgarde bares his teeth as he faces the enemy and/or fires his weapon. Consultant Walter Suarez, who was a Vietnam veteran, advised Sullivan not to show his teeth, because soldiers use camouflaging face paint and mud for a reason: to be inconspicuous. A soldier should never show bared teeth, their whiteness can make him a target. Sullivan decided to go for the drama rather than the realism.

Quotes

Karuy: Sometimes people don't do what they set out to do, and sometimes that's for the best.

Crazy Credits

After the final credits, a blooper is shown. Sullivan (Asgarde) and Sheridan (Keruy) are lying in bed, and Asgarde is saying, "I've been so ... so foolish." Sheridan says, "You have been," and then starts laughing. After a few seconds, Sullivan realizes it's a blooper/joke, and he bursts into laughter too.

User Reviews

Interesting movie

I finally found this film after reading about it in Science Fiction Age mag back in the mid nineties...I already checked out the other films (Invader, Beyond the rising moon and Metamorphosis) Invader is better as an action film but this is more like a science fiction story. The acting was better than a lot of low budget films and I didn't feel like I was being talked down to. Nice photography and special effects and a really cool real tank! I recommend this to people who like real sci-fi stories and not just things blowing up all the time. I mean, this film does have things blowing up and etc. but that's not what the film is about. It's about the future survivors of a disease and a cult army with an alien woman and a cow and jet pilot to boot. It was hard to find but I wasn't disappointed.
