Athena-1, a space station owned by gene
manipulation company Energyne, is destroyed after a laboratory rat mutates and
wreaks havoc. Dr. Kerry Atkins, the lone surviving crew member, is ordered by
CEO Claire Wyden to retrieve research canisters containing a pathogen. Atkins
is able to flee in the escape pod when the station implodes, but it
disintegrates upon re-entry, killing her. The falling pieces leave a trail of
debris across the United States, including the Everglades in Florida, where a
canister is consumed by an American crocodile, and a forest in Wyoming, where a
gray wolf is exposed to the pathogen.
Primatologist Davis Okoye, a former US Army
Special Forces
George grows considerably larger and more
aggressive over time. Davis is contacted by Dr. Kate Caldwell, a genetic
engineer, who explains that the pathogen was developed by Energyne to rewrite
genes on a massive scale. She had hoped to advance CRISPR research as a
potential cure for diseases but discovered Energyne's plans to use it as a
biological weapon. The company fired her and got her sent to prison for
attempting to expose them. George escapes from captivity and goes on a rampage
at the preserve. Davis calms him down, but George is captured by a government
team led by Agent Harvey Russell and put on an airplane. Meanwhile, Claire and
her brother, Brett, send a squad of mercenaries to capture the mutated wolf,
Ralph, but they are all killed.
Claire, hoping to capture Ralph and use George to
kill Kate so they can cover up their plans, uses a massive transmitter atop the
Willis Tower to lure all three of the animals—who have been engineered to
respond aggressively to a certain radio frequency—to Chicago. George reacts
violently to the sound and causes the plane to crash, though Davis, Kate, and
Russell parachute to safety. George, who also survives the crash, joins Ralph
as they make their way to Chicago. Davis and Kate are aided by Russell in
stealing a military helicopter to go to Chicago themselves.
By the time they arrive, George and Ralph are
tearing through the city, with the military struggling to contain the two. The
situation worsens when the mutated crocodile, Lizzie, arrives and joins George
and Ralph. Davis and Kate make a plan to steal a counter-serum, hoping that
they can turn the mutated animals back to normal. They are able to reach
Energyne headquarters at the Willis Tower and take several vials of the serum,
but they are caught by Claire and Brett. Claire reveals that the serum only
eliminates the animals' enhanced aggressiveness, rather than revert them to
their normal sizes. Claire shoots Davis, but he survives. When George climbs up
to the top of the tower, Claire orders Davis to distract him while she attempts
to escape with Kate held hostage at gunpoint. Kate slips a vial into Claire's
handbag and pushes her towards George, who eats the terrorist alive along with
the serum. Below, Russell takes incriminating evidence from Brett and lets him
escape, albeit into the path of falling debris which crushes Brett to death. As
the tower topples from damage, Davis and Kate survive by hovering in a damaged
helicopter amidst the shower of debris.
With George returned to his normal personality,
Davis stays in the city to help him defeat the other two monsters, while Kate
and Russell rush to prevent the military from deploying a MOAB against the
creatures. George and Davis trick Ralph into flying into Lizzie's jaws, which
decapitates him, but George is overpowered by Lizzie and heavily wounded. Davis
distracts Lizzie but is nearly killed himself before George stabs Lizzie with a
rebar through an eye, killing her. With the threat neutralized, the airstrike
is aborted. George and Davis, joined by Kate and Russell, help clear the city
of debris and evacuate civilians.
