Review Summary

ALIEN HUNTER is a movie directed by Ron Krauss in 2003.

Julian Rome, a teacher at Berkeley University, is sent to the Antarctic where an alien vehicle has been found in the ice. There, in a governmental base, Julian and the scientists will try to open it. An alien escapes from the vehicle at the same time that an airborn virus kills four of the members of the scientific team. This is the same situation that happened in Roswell in 1947.

While the U.S. government is asking a Russian submarine to go near the Antarctic in order to shoot a nuclear missile on the base, Julian manages to communicate with the alien before it's unfortunately killed by one of the survivors. Julian knows that if one of the survivors leaves the base alive, the virus could wipe off all trace of life on earth.
