Impostor is a 2002 American science fiction film based upon a short story of the same name, written by Philip K. Dick in 1953. The movie takes place in 2079. 45 years earlier, Earth was attacked by a hostile alien civilization from Alpha Centauri. A totalitarian global military government is established to continue the war effort. The film follows Spencer Olham —a designer of top secret government weapons. He is arrested by the military on the suspicion of being a replicant created by the hostile aliens. The replicants are perfect biological copies of existing humans, complete with... transplanted memories, and do not know they are replicants. Each has a small organic nuclear bomb in its chest. The government intercepted an alien transmission ordering Olham's replicant to assassinate the Chancellor when he met with her. Olham manages to escape the prison just before Major Hathaway was to remove and examine his heart for evidence of a bomb, accidentally killing his friend Nelson in process.
