The Host
Choose to believe. Choose to fight. Choose to love.
Directed by Andrew Niccol
Produced by Open Road Films, Nick Wechsler Productions
A sci-fi action-adventure centered on an unlikely bond between a human and an alien parasite, balancing dystopian stakes with romantic and emotional connection.
A parasitic alien soul is injected into the body of Melanie Stryder. Instead of carrying out her race's mission of taking over the Earth, "Wanda" (as she comes to be called) forms a bond with her host and sets out to aid other free humans.
