Being careful about giving rides to strangers is just as important
in outer space as it is on earth, as shown in this science fiction thriller. In the 22nd century, a pair of scientists, Cal
(Patrick Bergin) and Billie (Wendy Crewson), are sent on a special mission to study and record the activities
of a dying red star from an observational space craft; accompanying them is Billie's teenage daughter, Ronnie (Michelle Beaudoin).
One day, Cal and Billie discover a small escape pod from a larger spaceship; they retrieve the tiny vessel and discover a
man inside, Nash (Peter Outerbridge), in a state of suspended animation. When the man is brought on board and revived, they
soon make the unpleasant discovery that Nash is a murderous lunatic -- who happens to be attracted to Ronnie, and who can't
be gotten rid of easily. Can Billie save the day? ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
