THE INVASION
SYNOPSIS
Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman ("The
Hours") and Daniel Craig ("Casino Royale") star in
the science fiction action thriller "The Invasion," a
nightmarish journey into a world where the only
way to stay alive is to stay awake.
The mysterious crash of the space shuttle leads to
the terrifying discovery that there is something
alien within the wreckage. Those who come in
contact with it are changing in ominous and
inexplicable ways. Soon Washington, DC
psychiatrist Carol Bennell (Nicole Kidman) and her
friend, Dr. Ben Driscoll (Daniel Craig), learn the
shocking truth about the growing extraterrestrial
epidemic: it attacks its victims while they sleep,
leaving them physically unchanged but strangely
unfeeling and inhuman. As the infection spreads,
more and more people are altered and it becomes
impossible to know who can be trusted. Now
Carol's only hope is to stay awake long enough to
find her young son, who may hold the key to
stopping the devastating invasion.
"The Invasion" also stars Jeremy Northam ("The
Tudors," "Gosford Park") and Jeffrey Wright
("Casino Royale," "Angels in America").
