The film opens in the year 2010, where Jason Voorhees (played by Kane Hodder) is captured by the United States government after a failed attempt to contain him. Despite efforts to execute him, Jason manages to escape and goes on a killing spree at the Crystal Lake Research Facility, resulting in the deaths of several soldiers and scientists.
Desperate to stop Jason, the head scientist, Dr. Wimmer (played by David Cronenberg), comes up with a plan to cryogenically freeze both Jason and his nemesis, a young woman named Rowan LaFontaine (played by Lexa Doig), in the hopes of containing their threat indefinitely.
Flash forward to the year 2455, where Earth has become uninhabitable, and humanity has colonized other planets. A group of students and researchers from Earth Two, led by Professor Braithwaite Lowe (played by Jonathan Potts), discovers the cryogenically frozen bodies of Jason and Rowan aboard a derelict spacecraft.
The students, including a young woman named Adrienne (played by Kristi Angus) and her friends, unwittingly revive Jason while studying his body. He quickly resumes his killing spree, targeting the crew members one by one as they try to escape the ship.
As Jason wreaks havoc on the spaceship, the survivors must band together to stop him and find a way to defeat the seemingly unstoppable killer. They use various weapons and traps to try to subdue him, but Jason proves to be resilient and nearly invincible.
In a climactic showdown, Rowan confronts Jason in the ship’s cargo bay, where she manages to temporarily incapacitate him by trapping him in a cryogenic chamber. However, Jason reawakens and continues his pursuit, leading to a final confrontation that results in his apparent demise.
In the end, Rowan and a few survivors manage to escape the spaceship before it self-destructs, leaving Jason seemingly trapped and destroyed once again. However, a final scene reveals that Jason’s mask is still intact and floating in space, hinting at the possibility of his return in the future.
