The plot follows college professor Ira Kane (Duchovny) and geologist Harry Block (Jones) as they investigate a meteor crash in Arizona, only to discover that it harbors rapidly evolving extraterrestrial life forms.

An animated series, Alienators: Evolution Continues, was later developed and aired shortly after the film’s release.
