Storyline
| Plot Summary |
On a direct collision course with Earth, a large moon rapidly approaches from the outer regions of the solar system and Dr. Dana Shaw is sent along with a specialized mining crew to try to alter its course. Once upon the moon Shaw is faced not only with a brutal time schedule and a greedy, opportunistic crew captain, but with the release of a seemingly indestructible carnivorus alien, imprisoned within the moon eons ago by a race it had been slowly decimating.

| Quotes |
Michael Isaacs:
General, I resent your accusations. General Hurst: Folks, this conversation is pointless. Time is on my side. Now we got about 6 months before this moon is scheduled to impact the Earth. That's enough time for you to accomplish this exercise in futility. Dr. Dana Shaw: The decision's been made General. General Hurst: Yes, I know it has and as usual I'll sit back and watch you fail then I'll step in and save the day. Now if you both will excuse me. [walks away abruptly] See more » |
