What happens

Xtro 3: Watch the Skies (also known as Xtro: Watch the Skies) is a 1995 science-fiction horror film directed by Harry Bromley Davenport and starring Sal Landi, Andrew Divoff, Karen Moncrieff, Jim Hanks, Virgil Frye and Robert Culp. It is the third installment in the series after Xtro and Xtro II: The Second Encounter, and is once again unconnected to the previous ones, other than through its alien intrusion themes. In it, an alien seeks revenge for experiments conducted by the American government on one of his fellow aliens forty years prior. It’s an international co-production film between the United Kingdom and the United States. Comedy podcast RiffTrax (Michael J. Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy) recorded and released a riff in 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
