Movie with a returning probe/satellite, an alien infection, and a nuke at the end












4















I've been trying to find the name of a movie I remember seeing on TV on several occasions. What I remember of the plot:




  1. A probe/satellite returns to earth

  2. It's brought to an underground facility and is studied

  3. An alien bacteria onboard spreads, taking over the computer, infecting people and growing into a monster (John Carpenter/The Thing style)

  4. The facility is nuked at the end of the movie to kill it off, but you see the alien escaped the facility, walking off-screen as the bomb goes off.


I've been scouring lists of sci-fi movies to no avail. Sound familiar to anyone?

  • My first thought as well, but I assume you deleted your answer because the end doesn't match.

    I just saw a movie called Lifeform on YouTube today. The Viking probe returned and carried an alien egg that grew to an adult. Another egg was laid in the facility, and that creature had the memories of the alien which laid it. They nuked the facility at the end. The alien was outside the facility but got nuked. At the end you saw his dust blow away, leaving an egg lying on the desert. Vitter Smith and a young Ryan Phillipe. the-unknown-movies.com/unknownmovies/reviews/rev120.html

  • Auto correct changed my comment and I didn't notice. It was Cotter Smith in the movie, not Vitter.
