In the thrilling sci-fi film "Stranded," the Lunar Base Ark embarks on a mission to explore ore deposits on the moon, but the crew's plans are quickly derailed when they are struck by a catastrophic meteor shower, leaving their base severely damaged. Faced with the critical situation, Colonel Gerard Brauchman assigns crewmember Ava Cameron a dangerous task: to repair a wing of the base that is currently inundated with toxic carbon dioxide. As Ava prepares for the mission, Dr. Lance Krauss, the station's scientist, cautions her about the risks associated with prolonged exposure to the gas, warning that it can induce feelings of paranoia and vivid hallucinations. This foreshadowing raises the stakes for Ava, setting the stage for the psychological and physical challenges that lie ahead.
During her assignment, Ava brings back a sample of the meteor for further examination, yet her discovery takes a dark turn when Dr. Krauss identifies strange spores attached to the meteorite. In a moment of panic, Ava accidentally cuts her finger on the alien specimen but conceals the injury from Dr. Krauss, a decision that will have dire consequences. Shortly after this incident, Ava begins to experience unusual symptoms and ultimately discovers that she is pregnant. Her pregnancy is unusual in nature, culminating in the shocking delivery of an alien offspring. Despite her desperate attempts to convince Colonel Brauchman and Dr. Krauss of her unnatural situation, both men dismiss her claims as delusions brought on by the toxic environment, leaving Ava isolated and terrified.
As the plot unfolds, Ava's nightmare escalates when her alien child bites fellow crewmember Bruce Johns, leading to a shocking revelation: Bruce is cloned by the extraterrestrial entity. This transformation poses a significant threat to the surviving crew members as they grapple with the ramifications of their encounter with the meteor. The reality of the alien clone's existence forces the crew to confront their fears and the evidence before them, ultimately leading to a tense struggle for survival against an enemy born from the depths of space. "Stranded" is a harrowing tale that weaves together themes of isolation, desperation, and the human psyche's fragility in the face of the unknown.
