Plot
A woman comes to a small South American jungle village to seek the aid of a reclusive but highly experienced jungle guide, to find her husband who has disappeared while on an exploratory expedition of his own. The husband has specifically gone into the jungle to locate and retrieve an experimental earth satellite, which unexpectedly fell back to earth, out of control, after entering a part of the stratosphere known as the "flame barrier". The guide reluctantly agrees after much persuasion by the woman and also by his ne'er-do-well brother, both of whom accompany him on his trek. Eventually, the satellite is discovered in a cave near the husband's deserted campsite, and is found to be contaminated by an alien life-form which doubles its size every few hours. The problem then becomes one of saving the world.
