Plot:
(SIRIUS 6B, Year 2078) On a distant mining planet ravaged by a decade of war, scientists have created the perfect weapon: a blade-wielding, self-replicating race of killing devices known as Screamers designed for one purpose only -- to hunt down and destroy all enemy life forms But man's greatest weapon has continued to evolve without any human guidance, and now it has devised a new mission: to obliterate all life. Col. Hendricksson (Peter Weller) is commander of a handful of Alliance soldiers still alive on Sirius 6B. Betrayed by his own political leaders and disgusted by the atrocities of this never-ending war, Hendricksson decides he must negotiate a separate peace with the New Economic Bloc's decimated forces. But to do so, he will have to cross a treacherous wasteland where the deadliest threat comes from the very weapons he helped to create.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

It's based on a Philip K. Dick story called the Second Variety. It's a better movie than you'd expect. They've changed quite a bit though. Originally it was the U.N. against the Soviet Union on a now barren Earth. They've shifted that to a miners revolt on some arbitrary crap hole planet. The ending has been completely changed though, so having read the book won't spoil the movie version completely.

I've read that one as well but not seen the movie. If the twist is anything like the original story then people will suss it out early.

I'm pretty good at pulling plots twists out of a story but Impostor suprised even me.
