The movie starts out at a bar in the desert. The people in the bar are all having a good time when a man covered in blood emerges through the door. He tells everyone that they are in big trouble but no one really heeds his warning until he exposes the head of a very ugly alien. They asks who he is, to which he replies, "I'm the one saving your asses." Then, an alien jumps through the window and begins feasting on his head. This all takes place within the first fifteen minutes of the film.
