Il sergente Michael Nantz ha alle sue spalle una lunga carriera nei Marines macchiata dalla perdita di alcuni uomini nel corso di un'azione sotto il suo comando. Il suo ritorno allo stato civile è già stato decretato quando una pioggia di meteoriti, che si rivelano essere ordigni lanciati sulla Terra da alieni che la vogliono invadere, lo costringe a rimanere in servizio agli ordini del giovane tenente Martinez. La missione consiste nell'evacuare un gruppo di civili rimasti intrappolati dagli invasori e portarli in salvo.
