In the post-apocalyptic future (1998), boxers are in, bras apparently are out, and World War Three is raging. To escape a deadly dose of acid rain, a handful of army deserters hole up in an abandoned research warehouse, where they're terrorized by a slimy, mutant monster and some very large rats. A low-budget "Alien" knockoff, the kind of movie where, in the time it takes to say, "Don't go in there," somebody goes in there, and as soon as you start to think, "Don't split up," the survivors split up. Linnea Quigley's overexposed knockers make an obligatory appearance, but Kim McKamy as the relative brains of the outfit does a better job of commanding the screen. McKamy appears to be seconds away from her own nude scene when the camera cuts to Quigley being attacked by a giant rat, an ironic example of topless interruptus when you consider Kim's X-rated work as porn star Ashlyn Gere.
