Invasion Earth
The time is the 1990s. The place is the fabled Scottish highlands. The players hail from different worlds. The dimensions are countless. At stake is the planet Earth. From the BBC and the Sci Fi Channel comes INVASION EARTH, an ambitious, thought-provoking sci-fi epic on DVD for the first time. When an ace pilot and a beautiful scientist investigate a UFO crash, they discover two alien races at war with each other, the peace-loving Echos and the dimension-hopping nD's. It seems Earth is the battlefield and Time (another dimension) is running out. It's up to a small band of humans save us all. INVASION EARTH is sci-fi of the highest order, filled with inventive plots, startling special effects and gut-wrenching cliffhangers. Starring Vincent Regan (Troy), Fred Ward (The Right Stuff) and Maggie O'Neill (Under Suspicion) in all six episodes of the original hit miniseries.

After one of their pilot shoots down an mysterious aircraft over Scotland, the RAF is determined to find out who or what was flying the plane. Meanwhile, a group from SETI is recruited to investigate a possible extraterrestrial message.
When an implant is removed from the pilot of the alien craft, a mysterious force from another dimensions arrives and abducts several people.
Terrell reveals the truth about his past and his connection a peaceful alien race called the Echos who have been desperately resisting the malevolent nDs.
When reports of alien threat are met with skepticism, Reece decides to capture a living nD by using Terrell's craft as bait.
When the nDs attack the remote Scottish village of Kirkhaven, Reece must deploy his unit in order to stop the attack.
An enormous black mountain appears outside of Kirkhaven and begins to absorb surrounding organic material. Reece sends a helicopter to the mountain in order to gather data to stop it. Ultimately, nuclear weapons must be used to stop it.
