Movie Synopsis
An alien lifeform, much like a fungus, clings to the space shuttle Patriot which crashes to Earth, spreading tainted debris from Texas to Washington, D.C. curious onlookers steal and sell pieces of the debris on eBay, much like what happened with the Columbia disaster. This in turn infects many people, bringing them under the aliens lifeform's mindless control when they enter REM sleep.
One of the first people infected is Tucker (Jeremy Northam), a CDC director investigating the crash. Once he is overcome, Tucker uses the CDC to spread the disease further, disguising the spores as flu inoculations. In a panic from a made-up "flu bug," people rush to get "inoculated," later becoming pod people when they fall asleep.
