| Movie DescriptionThe Archangel Michael (Paul Bettany) falls to Earth in Los Angeles, cuts off his wings, and raids a police arsenal for a cache of automatic weapons. Confronted by two LAPD officers, one becomes possessed and kills the other. Michael kills the possessed cop and steals his car.
At a roadside diner and garage near the edge of the Mojave Desert are the diner's owner, Bob Hanson (Dennis Quaid), his son Jeep (Lucas Black), the short-order cook Percy (Charles S. Dutton) and a pregnant waitress, Charlie (Adrianne Palicki). Also present is a single father on his way to L.A., Kyle (Tyrese Gibson); an urban married couple, Howard and Sandra Anderson (Jon Tenney and Kate Walsh); and their rebellious and promiscuous teenage daughter, Audrey (Willa Holland).
Soon after, an old woman (Jeanette Miller) arrives and seems pleasant at first, but then begins taunting the diner's patrons. When Howard tries to reason with her, she rips part of his throat open and climbs up the ceiling like an insect, hisses, and revealing she is possessed. Kyle shoots and kills her with a pistol that he was hiding. Later, they try to hurry an injured Howard away in Kyle's car, but are forced to go back after passing through a swarm of horse flies... |
