Plot

The film is set in 1982, hereby following the events that had happened in the previous film. The film's heros, R.J. MacReady and Childs have successfully won the battle against the shape-shifting alien that has infected five members and killed seven others of their team. They've evacuated Outpost 31 and managed to seek refuge at the Norwegian Outpost where they are rescued by an American soldier named J.F. Blake (Jade Frances Blake), who is a captain of a 6-man United States Army Special Operations Command research/battle group stationed at Outpost 12. Upon hearing the dreadful news, Blake sends 3 of his men, Major Jackson, Private Williams, and Corporal Rogers to investigate the incident, when Jackson is brutally attacked by a strange worm in the Infirmary. He survives, only to receive a bizarre mental illness that Lt. Gail, the team's medic couldn't describe. Later that night, Cooper and Williams were about to turn in for the night when they hear a strange noise coming from the Canteen. They walk over to investigate, only to find a one-eyed, monstrous creature. The Jackson-Thing gets torched by Childs until MacReady and he discover that their mission on destroying the Thing was a complete failure. Blake and his team decide to join forces with the two and decide to come up with a plan that might help them destroy their outer-space menace. That day, Col. Reese C. Whitley, a military CEO of a advanced governmental genetic engineering facility known as Gen-Inc (Genetic Technologies Incorporated) has somehow recieved the Norris-Spiderhead from his men who salvaged Outpost 31 where he plans to experiment on the Thing in order to create and control his own "alien" invasion. On the following day, MacReady and Childs return to Outpost 31 to bring back some supplies needed for their unsuccessful mission. MacReady acquires a M79 grenade launcher and a 10 gauge stockless shotgun. Childs finds Garry and Nauls, the two members from their team and they decide to bring them back for medical study and infection tests. Back at Gen-Inc, after one of the scientists is killed by the Norris-Spiderhead, Whitley conducts a horrifying experiment on the victim where the test result reveals a swarm of hideous, mutant human-headed crabs which Whitley calls "Scuttlers". He commands them to go to Outpost 12 and destroy all personnel within the area. Meanwhile, as nightfall approaches, Rogers collapses due to heart failure. Gail and Blake escort him to the Sickbay until they discover that Rogers is a victim of the Thing. He kills Gail, but Williams defeats it by shooting a ventilation shaft with a shotgun and letting it fall on top of him. But seemingly unnoticed, Roger's head detaches from the body and escapes in the form of an octopus. Williams hunts it down and returns in time for the test, in which Blake uses a hypo. Leaving only five members uninfected, they decide to hunt for the Thing until they encounter Whitley's Scuttler army. Despite their size, they were easily defeated. When Cooper gets killed, the team discover that the Scuttlers had come from Gen-Inc and decide to head back to confront the Thing and Whitley. After being captured, Whitley decides to run some tests on Blake until Sgt. Turner, a member of his security force sets him free, hereby betraying him. After MacReady, Childs, and Williams escape, they set out to find Blake until Whitley summons an army of deadly Things known as "Walkers" to destroy them, but failed. After reuniting with Blake, Turner agrees to help them escape if they can find a way to stop the infecton from spreading across the base. When the battle nearly came to an end, Carson, Whitley's partner is turned into a Thing where he takes on MacReady, Turner, Childs, and Williams. Blake has a face-to-face with Whitley underneath the base. But when he discovers that Whitley had been taken over with the virus, Blake nearly defeats him by blasting a set of fuel barrels which apparently stuns him. He escapes and later reunites with the team. But before they had a chance to escape, Whitley turns himself into a Thing and ends up in a devastating challenge with the heroes. Blake finally destroys him by shoving a fuel barrel down his mouth and shoots it with his pistol, causing his head to explode. The team escapes and ends up in a oceanic valley known as Walrus Ridge where they manage to seek assistance at McMurdo Station...
