[edit] Plot summary
Set in a remote desert location, government scientists perform reanimation experiements in an underground nuclear facility. The goal is to create a superhuman. Their first subject "Thor," is specimen from a suicide found in the desert. In the attempts to bring Thor back an uncontrollable creature is unleashed. Thor also deals with issues of parentage, reproduction, remnants from his former life, and his mentality that had driven him to suicide.
The movie begins with the family unit of Stockton (Lance Henriksen), daughter Wendy (Natasha Gregson Wagner), and son Scott (Giovanni Ribisi), preparing for a visit to the desert. Stockton is a former participating scientist of the experiments. Upon arrival Stockton finds the current scientists still continuing with their work. Thor is awakened and the facility goes into lockdown status. Trapped inside as prey for their creation, the scientists and Stockton's family must defeat Thor or escape from an impenetrable post. As they are picked off by Thor's hunger for a chemical derived from human brains, their means of survival diminishes.
[Tagline] "A top secret experiment intended to produce a superhuman has gone terribly wrong. Now the creators, trapped in a remote desert outpost, are being pursued ruthlessly by their creation. With the door sealed from within, there is no way out."
