Review Summary
Two NASA Astronauts discover a wrecked spaceship containing human and robotic remains. The robotic remains turn out to be malignant; they can bond with human body part to make scary cyborgs which try to destroy everything they see.

NASA sends the astronauts back to the moon to find out if there are more of these creatures. There are, and they want to (Big surprise!) INVADE THE EARTH! After waking a woman from a cryogenic chamber, Jason Grant (Walter Koenig) becomes stranded on the moon with her, and spends the rest of the film trying to stop the invasion while avoiding being turned into spare parts.
