Invasion is a thrilling science fiction movie from 1997, directed by Armand Mastroianni and starring Luke Perry, Kim Cattrall, and Rebecca Gayheart. The movie is set in a small town in the United States, where a mysterious object crashes and unleashes a deadly alien organism that threatens the entire community. The story starts with Ranger Sikes (Luke Perry) on patrol in the woods near the town. Suddenly, he hears a loud noise and sees a flashing light in the sky. He investigates the scene and discovers a strange object that has crashed. When he examines it, he is attacked by a strange creature that attaches itself to his face, but he manages to kill it and take a sample to the local doctor.

The doctor, who is also Sikes's ex-girlfriend, Dr. Bellows (Rebecca Gayheart), analyzes the sample and finds it to be a highly evolved organism with the ability to mutate and adapt to different environments. Meanwhile, the town's sheriff, Traylor (Kim Cattrall), investigates the incident and finds out that the object was a satellite sent by the government to collect data on extraterrestrial life.

As the days pass, more and more people in the town start getting infected by the alien organism, including Sikes's best friend Randy (Christopher Orr) and Sheriff Traylor's deputy (Joey Zimmerman). Dr. Bellows realizes that the organism is using human hosts to spread and mutate, and that it has the potential to wipe out all life on Earth. She joins forces with Sikes to find a way to stop it before it's too late.

The two heroes discover that the organism can be killed by extreme heat, and they come up with a plan to destroy it using a gas pipeline that runs through the town. However, the alien has already taken control of Traylor's body, and she is determined to stop them at any cost. Sikes and Dr. Bellows have to fight their way through a wave of infected townspeople to reach the pipeline and ignite it before it's too late.

Invasion is a gripping and suspenseful movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. The characters are well-written and complex, with Luke Perry delivering a standout performance as the hero who has to fight against impossible odds. Kim Cattrall is equally impressive as the conflicted sheriff who finds herself torn between duty and loyalty to her town. Rebecca Gayheart is convincing as the intelligent and determined scientist who searches for a way to stop the alien invasion.

The movie's special effects and practical effects are impressive for its time, with the alien organism being both creepy and fascinating to look at. The scenes of infected townspeople attacking Sikes and Dr. Bellows are intense and visceral, adding to the movie's suspense and horror elements.

In conclusion, Invasion is a must-see for anyone who loves science fiction and horror movies. It has a great cast, an intriguing story, and plenty of action and suspense to keep you entertained throughout. If you're looking for a movie that will leave you on the edge of your seat, Invasion is definitely worth a watch.
