Plot The Earth passes through the tail of a comet, which dooms all human and animal life except for those who happened to be completely enclosed inside metal containers (for example, the three main protagonists spend the night in a metal shed, a steel-lined projection room, and an 18-wheeler's trailer). Unprotected people and animals quickly dehydrate and turn into piles of red calcium dust. Those only partially exposed first gradually degenerate into cannibalistic zombies for hours or days before succumbing. Comet Hale-Bopp Comet West For other uses, see Comet (disambiguation). ...

Two sisters, eighteen-year-old Regina (Catherine Mary Stewart) and sixteen-year-old Samantha (Kelli Maroney) Belmont ("Reggie" and "Sam"), are among the few survivors. The sisters are military brats; they were taught self-defense techniques and how to use firearms by their father, an Army officer. After realizing what has happened, they hear a disk jockey on the radio and head to the station, only to find that it is only a recording. However, they do meet another survivor there, trucker Hector Gomez (Robert Beltran). Catherine Mary Stewart, née Nursall (born April 22, 1959 in Edmonton, Alberta) is a Canadian actress. ...

When Sam talks on the air, she attracts the attention of researchers in an underground government think tank. They had suspected and prepared for the comet's effects, but "left the vents open" during its passing. In order to save themselves, they hunt down healthy survivors to harvest their blood to hold off the mystery disease while they try to create an antidote. This article is about the institution. ...

Hector then leaves to see if any of his family survived. The girls, in true Valley girl fashion, take advantage of the unexpected turn of events to go shopping, to the tune of "Girls Just Want To Have Fun". After a firefight, they are taken prisoner by some slowly-dying department store stock boys, who demand payment for their 'purchases'. They are rescued just in time by a rescue party from the think tank. For other uses, see Valley girl (disambiguation). ...

Reggie is taken back to their facility; Audrey White (Mary Woronov), a dying, disillusioned scientist, lies to her co-workers, telling them that Sam had been exposed. She stays behind with Sam, pretending to kill the young woman with a lethal injection. When Hector returns, Audrey gives him enough information for him and Sam (who was only put to sleep) to concoct a plan to rescue Reggie; then she commits suicide. Hector and Sam free Reggie and two other survivors (a boy and a girl) also being held captive. Some of the researchers are killed in the escape, while the rest succumb to the disease. Mary Woronov (b. ...
Eventually rain washes away the red dust, leaving the world in pristine condition. The group turns into a conventional family unit, except for Sam, who feels left out. When she ignores Reggie's warning and crosses a deserted street against the light, she is almost run over by a car driven by Danny Mason Kenner, a boy her own age. After apologizing, he invites her to go for a ride.
