DEAD SPACE

In the research facility on the planet Phablos, a virus is created in a botched experiment which turns those infected into monsters. An emergency distress call is sent from the lab.

A spacecraft crewed by Commander Steve Krieger and robot sidekick Tinpan respond to the emergency call from the planet, but their craft is attacked and damaged on the way to Phablos.

Upon their arrival at Phablos, those in charge of the laboratory explain that they have managed to contain the virus. Krieger accepts the lab's claims and begins repairs on his ship. The scientist had not been entirely honest with Krieger, and had been attempting to study the virus rather than contain it.

The virus escapes and infects a nearby survivor, leaving the laboratory to face a killer virus that uses human bodies to spawn alien monster offspring.

Krieger and Tinpan attempt to stop the monster, but their weapons prove ineffective. One of the lab workers develops a bioweapon that proves effective in stopping the monster.

A laboratory worker develops a bioweapon that proves effective in stopping the monster created by the virus.

The film resolves with scientific ingenuity overcoming the threat after conventional weapons fail, highlighting a return to responsible science over reckless experimentation. The survivors' victory underscores the dangers of unchecked curiosity and the necessity for decisive action in the face of contagion.
