The Invasion (film)

The Invasion is a 2007 science fiction thriller horror film starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, with additional scenes written by The Wachowskis and directed by James McTeigue.

After the space shuttle Patriot crashes on Earth, a funguslike alien lifeform is discovered on the remaining parts scattered over US territory. Once people come into contact with the organism, they are controlled by it when they enter REM sleep. One of the first people infected is Tucker Kaufman, a CDC director investigating the crash.Tuckers exwife, psychiatrist Carol Bennell, begins to feel something is amiss when people seem to have changed. Her patient Wendy Lenk describes how her husband is not her husband, and one of her sons friends acts detached and emotionless. At a neighborhood Halloween party, Carols son Oliver finds a skin on a partier which is initially believed to be costume makeup. Carol speculates that the skin may be an organism connected to reports of a fastspreading flu. Carol takes the organism to her doctor friend Ben Driscoll to have it checked. Carol attends a friendly dinner meeting between Russian diplomat Ben and Czechoslovakian diplomat Yorish along with female companion Luddie and discusses her postmodern feminism views over caviar and champagne. Meanwhile, Tucker uses the CDC to spread the disease further, disguising the spores as flu vaccine. ........
