Two brothers desperate to keep the family business afloat soon find their prayers answered when a Russian satellite dislodges from orbit and crashes into the middle of a nearby field. Unaware the satellite carries a mysterious alien substance; the brothers sell the satellite to a local artist who uses the wreckage in his giant sculpture for the town’s centennial celebration. But soon the substance brings the giant sculpture to life; creating an iron monster whose only instinct is to survive at any cost.
