[edit] Introduction
A bitter ex-solider agrees to help a militia hijack a U.S. Army shipment of missiles. Instead of missiles, they find a lone guard who pleads with them not to open the shipment because it is deadly.
[edit] Opening narration
- "On the long road between cradle and grave, we travel alone. It is not the blind and random circumstances of our birth which determine the quality of our journey, that is decided by the choices made along the way."
[edit] Plot synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Major Mackie demands to know what is in the shipment and believes that the Captain is lying. But all the lone guard says is " don't open it". Major Mackie eventually opens it and a chilling series of events begin to happen as an alien lifeform freezes them to death.
The final scene shows a police officer frozen outside of the building.
[edit] Closing narration
- "Why do we need to belong? Is it for the fellowship of others? Or is it the fear of being left... out in the cold?"
[edit] Minor Mistakes
"Captain Teri Washington" wears Lieutenant rank pins.
