Introducere:
In the beginning of the movie news of UFO sightings around the world appear.
Jack Bruno (Dwayne Johnson) is a cab driver in Las Vegas, who is
picking up and dropping off passengers to the UFO convention at the
Planet Hollywood Casino and Hotel. One of his passengers is Dr. Alex
Friedman (Carla Gugino), a failed scientist who is giving speeches
about legitimate scientific theories of UFOs and outer space.
The next day as he is walking to his cab to start work, he is
approached by two large men telling him that Wolff would like to see
him. After fighting them, Bruno drives off, later noticing two
children, Sara (AnnaSophia Robb) and Seth (Alexander Ludwig) sitting in
the back seat of the cab. They tell him they need to go to a certain
destination and are willing to pay all they have to get there. They
lead him to a run down house in the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile, Major
Henry Burke (Ciaran Hinds) is searching for information on the two
aliens that landed some days earlier.
When they arrive at the house, the children tell Bruno that they
will be re-united with their relatives soon. Before leaving Bruno hears
a crash coming from the house. He is startled to find them hiding
behind a couch. Though grateful for his concern, the children tell him
they must continue their journey without him, as they can trust no one.
Nevertheless, Bruno decides to follow them, which leads him to the
basement of the house. There the kids are pursued and attacked by a
strange creature as they retrieve an object in a plant. They manage to
escape this creature.
