as Pike

Detective Ian McLemore follows a trail of savage killings to debris from a classified space experiment. As smaller creatures hatch and the surviving organism grows, the investigation becomes a street-level hunt for a monster the government never intended anyone to find. The United States military loses control of a secret satellite that contains a biological weapon. Upon crashing, the weapon escapes near Los Angeles and begins to terrorize the citizens. Police Lieutenant McLemore is given the job of trying to stop the monster before it kills more people and escapes into the surrounding area. An American satellite with a new biological weapon gets out of control and crashes onto US territory. A slimy monster emerges and manages to escape, killing everyone who crosses his path. Police Lieutenant McLemore gets the job to stop the killing machine. A spaceship with a hideous monster with an incredible appetite for flesh crashes to Earth. Unsuspecting policemen Ian Mclemore and Jerry Merris investigate the wreckage. They discover several small pods, which they remove. Secretly engineered and blasted into space by government scientists, a vile monster crash-lands back on Earth and begins killing everyone it encounters. As the death toll rises, veteran cop McLemore bravely steps forward to crush the scary creature.
