The film begins with a global crisis: an alien object enters Earth’s atmosphere and lands in Central Park, New York City.

Helen is summoned to a high-security facility in the Cascades. Inside a containment field sits a small, jagged fragment of Gort—the silver giant that had disintegrated into a cloud of nanites years ago. The fragment is vibrating at a frequency that matches the human heartbeat.
