What is Species about?
Species (1995) In 1993, scientists successfully receive a message from an alien source, detailing instructions on how to create limitless fuel and a DNA sample with instructions on how to splice it with human DNA. Assuming the aliens are friendly, a government team led by Dr. Xavier Fitch commissions a genetic experiment to create a female alien/human hybrid organism named Sil. However, due to Sil's violent outbursts, the scientists deem her dangerous and prepare to kill her. Fearing she will mate with human males and produce offspring that will eventually exterminate the human race, the government assembles a team to track and kill Sil. Sil escapes and travels to Los Angeles, where she kills several people to prevent them from alerting authorities and disguises herself. The team, consisting of anthropologist Dr. Stephen Arden, molecular biologist Dr. Laura Baker, "empath" Dan Smithson, and mercenary Preston "Press" Lennox, fails to capture Sil, who assumes her alien form and kidnaps a woman to assume her identity. Secretly returning to Carey's home, Sil determines that Fitch and his team plan to stake out a nightclub where she is likely to appear. After being spotted by Smithson at the nightclub; Sil forces her pursuers into a car chase that ends with her crashing into a high-voltage electrical transformer; however, Sil survives due to regenerative powers and kidnaps a baby to mate with it and produce offspring to save her species. The team eventually locates Sil and engages in a final confrontation, resulting in Press sacrificing himself to kill Sil using a grenade and prevent the extinction of the human race.
