Akademik Vladislav Volkov, a Russian research vessel in the South Pacific, communicates with the orbiting space station Mir. A large energy source traveling through space strikes Mir, killing the cosmonauts and beaming itself down to Volkov. The electrical surge takes over the ship and attacks the crew.
Seven days later, the tugboat Sea Star, captained by alcoholic Robert Everton, loses its uninsured cargo while sailing through a typhoon. Sea Star’s crew, led by navigator and ex-Navy officer Kelly Foster and engineer Steve Baker, discover the engine room taking on water. When Sea Star takes refuge in the eye of the storm to make repairs, Volkov appears on their radar. Realizing that it could be worth millions in salvage, Everton orders his crew aboard.
On Volkov, most of the electronics have been destroyed and the Russian crew are seemingly missing. Everton orders Steve to help a fellow crewman, Squeaky, restore power to the ship. Immediately afterward, the ship’s anchor drops on its own, sinking Sea Star with deckhand Hiko and first mate J.W. Woods, Jr. on board. Steve leaves Squeaky to guard the engine room, where he is lured to his death by a robotic, spider-like creature.
Steve rescues an injured Hiko, while Woods comes out unscathed. As Foster treats Hiko in the sick bay, Chief Science Officer Nadia Vinogradova, the sole surviving member of Volkov’s crew, shoots at the crew and is subdued by Steve. Nadia reveals the true threat that “it” needs power to travel through the ship and implores the crew to shut down the generators.
As the survivors struggle to overcome the cyborg threat and the sentient electrical energy controlling the ship, they are faced with increasingly dangerous challenges. The crew must navigate through ambushes, betrayals, and sacrifices to prevent the Intelligence from wreaking havoc on the world.
Will Foster, Steve, and the remaining crew be able to outsmart the Intelligence, or will they fall victim to its destructive plan? Watch “Virus” for a thrilling and suspenseful sci-fi adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
