Plot:
Marvel at the mid-1990s computer generated effects of Earth while the narration reveals of the alien invasion of Earth in 1999.

Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind motherships are returning because Earth didn't
broadcast enough kickin' jams into space...
Technicians watch satellite surveillance detect something entering the solar system heading towards Earth. They can't contact professor
Chambers.
The motherships launch a number of flying saucers that start teleporting a number of people and animals.

Beam me up, Scotty....
Things wouldn't be any better when the suacers start blowing up farmers and farmhouses either.
A sheriff sends a couple of his deputioes off to transport some prisoners to either the county jail or prison before morning or night. Having
to listen to the convicts on the trip isn't any more helpful when the deputies find a car wreck. Originally, they want to leave Professor Chambers, his granddaughter-Stacy, and assistant-Caroll. The sheriff agrees
The sheriff gets distracted when he sees flying saucers blast several cars outside his office.

At least, B.J. and the Bear had some quality to my guest starring episodes. Hee orders his deputies to take the car wreck people with them to the nearest town.

HG Welles with a coloring book would have given more impressive
special effects. Flying saucers all over the world start attacking.
The transport manages to crash which mean everyone including the convicts have to be taken out. They head for shelter in the nearby cave. One of the deputies spots aliens leaving a saucer. They head deeper into the cave to avoid and shoot an alien. One of the prisoners breaks away and is grabbed by the aliens.
Elsewhere, the technicians see a mothership send numerous ships out blow up most of the city.
In the cave, the cowardly deputy freaks out and runs off from the group. Well, he must automatically be caught by the aliens for cowardice.
Deputy Tyler sees that things aren't looking too good. He unlocks Towers, the good convict who only killed someone in a drunken barfight. They head on but reach a dead end. Tyler is shotgunning aliens while Towers finds a small vent-like opening. The 3 civilians head on. The deputy is wounded and can't go any farther but wants Towers to get the civilians to safety.
The aliens grab Stacy and wound the proessor. Towers and Caroll are the last left. They discover the aliens have set up some kind of lab and Sttacy is close to human experimentation group.

Why you should never fall asleep in front of aliens with plenty of goo...
The lab has a number of pod people. Grabbing Stacy, they find that they're trapped in the lab behind some sort of force field. Towers finds a control and starts randomly working the controls until it deactivates the force field. Well, the 3 manage to escape the cave. Towers wields his explosive humor as he blows up the cave.
Stacy and Caroll knew about the alien invasion. If that's not strange enough, Max, one of the astronomy technicians drives up to take them away. They discuss that the aliens were capturing people for labor, food, etc... Reach the nearest town is hard enough when a flying saucer is chasing after them. They hide in a warehouse.
Max is trying to crack the alien code and Towers uses the control to turn off the force field of the nearby saucer. He uses the recently discovered rocket launcher to blast the saucer to Roswell. Other ships head back to the motherships.

Giant mothership that looks like the Visitors apwned some of their older ships..
Max, Towers, Stacy, and Caroll ponder how the aliens will be stopped by taking the data to the military or will the invasion be stopped? Cut to the movie just ending...
