BRAIN HARVEST (Synopsis)
Lisa McCarey, a young movie theatre employee, is being followed by a UFO, After.a frightening
"close encounter", Lisa still manages to look forward to her scheduled meeting
with her long lost brother, Chane. When she meets Chane, he is doing very well for himself,
great clothes, fancy car, and a highly positive outlook. He tells her he is working in medical
research, on an obscure, very rare, pea-sized, non-functioning gland located between the eye
and the brain. He brags that he has located one man with the gland, a mean looking trucker
named Reggie. (In a flashback, we see Chane hunt Reggie down. The handsome Chane uses a
mysterious ray to immobilize Reggie.) As Chane drives Lisa through the woods, a UFO follows
them, and eventually immobilizes his car. Chane is calm. Terrified, Lisa runs out of the car.
Chane, assisted by creatures resembling man-sized ants, corner Lisa, knock her out,
and beam her up to the waiting UFO.
Aboard the UFO, Lisa finds a frightened Reggie. He tells her that they both have the gland, which
has incredible value to the ant aliens. Reggie is strapped down on an surgical table and
without any anesthetics, is operated on. A powerful drill, placed to his eye, slowly drills
downwards (This is conveyed mostly off camera) The gland is extracted from Reggie's corpse.
Now, Lisa is placed on the table. She manages to escape, and is chased through the UFO.
She makes a blind, panicked motion to jump from the UFO. She splashes down in a lake in the
middle of Arizona. She swims out and gets to the woods. The rest of the film finds her
constantly on the run, ducking in and out of uninviting territory. She knows Chane is targeting
another person with the gland, a sweet little eight year old girl named Cara. This double
chase/rescue drives the second and third act of the film.
