In the movie Mimic (1997), Manhattan is plagued by a deadly disease spread by cockroaches, which is causing the deaths of children. In an attempt to combat this epidemic, Dr. Susan Tyler, an entomologist, genetically engineers a new breed of insect that secretes a fluid to kill the roaches. This new breed was designed to die after a single generation, ensuring that their effects are temporary.
However, three years later, Susan discovers that the species she created has not only survived but has also evolved into a terrifying monster capable of mimicking human form. These creatures roam the city's subways and dark corners, preying on unsuspecting victims. With the help of her husband, Dr. Peter Mann, and a police officer, Leonard, Susan embarks on a desperate mission to put an end to the nightmare she unintentionally created.

As the trio battles against the monstrous creatures, they also face the ethical implications of their own creation. With surprises lurking at every turn, Mimic will keep viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end as they discover the true nature of these deadly beings.
