A mysterious, mind-altering epidemic has infected mankind, and when a Washington, D.C. psychiatrist discovers that the outbreak seems to be extraterrestrial in origin, she struggles to save her son from infection in this
sci-fi thriller starring
Nicole Kidman and
Daniel Craig, and directed by
Oliver Hirschbiegel (
Das Experiment). The space shuttle has crashed, and investigators assigned to explore the wreckage have found something unimaginable in the debris - something from the deepest reaches of outer space. Everyone who comes into contact with it soon begins to transform in ways that can't be explained by modern science. While their physical appearance remains completely unaltered, their emotions seem to be drained and their actions become strangely inhuman. The only people who know the truth about this extraterrestrial epidemic are Washington, D.C. psychiatrist Carol Bennell (
Kidman) and her longtime friend Dr. Ben Driscoll (
Craig). It seems that the alien virus attacks people in their sleep, and by the time they awaken the transformation has already taken place. The contagion is spreading rapidly, and as more people fall victims to its eerie effects by the hour it becomes impossible to differentiate the infected from those who can still be trusted. When Carol realizes that her young son may hold the only hope for saving the human race, she struggles to remain awake long enough to find the boy and prevent planet Earth from becoming host to a terrifying new breed of extraterrestrials. Based on the book
The Body Snatchers by
Jack Finney,
The Invasion was written by
David Kajganich and co-stars
Jeffery Wright and
Jeremy Northam.
