Species


"She's beautiful, seductive, intelligent...and her charms could spell doom for the entire human race...


When a creature genetically engineered through extraterrestrial intelligence escapes from observation, scientist Xavier Fitch (...Ben Kingsley) assembles an elite team of experts to track it down. These experts -- a government assassin (Michael Madsen), an 'empath' (Forest Whitaker), a biologist (Marg Helenberger) and an anthropologist (Alfred Molina) -- combine their expertise and trace their prey to Los Angeles. There, in the form of a stunning young woman (Natasha Henstridge), the alien initiates a horrific plan: to mate with unsuspecting men and produce offspring that could destroy mankind. As her deadly biological clock tick rapidly, Fitch and his team are hurled into a pulse-pounding chase in which the fate of humanity itself hands in the balance."
