Plot

The U.S. Secretary of Defense visits a government facility called Nexus, an underground laboratory controlled entirely by a computer, to witness a top-secret experiment which sends three volunteers to another dimension. When only one of them returns and the Defense Secretary threatens to shut Nexus down, the original architect of Nexus is coaxed out of retirement by his former lover, who is now one of Nexus's top scientists, to help investigate what went wrong. Meanwhile an alien parasite emerges from the body of the experiment's sole survivor.

Notably, aside from being in the science-fiction genre, this film has little in common with 1983's Xtro, having a largely dissimilar plot, and featuring none of the characters from the first film.
