The U.S. Secretary of Defense visits a government facility called Nexus, an underground laboratory controlled entirely by a computer, to witness a top-secret experiment which sends three volunteers to another dimension. When only one of them returns and the Defense Secretary threatens to shut Nexus down, the original architect of Nexus is coaxed out of retirement by his former lover, who is now one of Nexus's top scientists, to help investigate what went wrong. Meanwhile an alien parasite emerges from the body of the experiment's sole survivor.
Notably, aside from being in the science-fiction genre, this film has little in common with 1982's Xtro, having a largely dissimilar plot, and featuring none of the characters from the first film.
Image Entertainment released both original and special editions in 2005 and 2006. It was later released by Image as a 2-disk double feature alongside the first film in the series. It was last released on DVD by Film 2000 on October 1, 2007.[1]
