help Evolution FAQ

What happens in Evolution (2001)?

A meteor crashes in Arizona, and scientists Ira Kane and Harry Block find alien organisms evolving at an extraordinary speed. David Duchovny plays Ira and Orlando Jones plays Harry in Ivan Reitman's science-fiction comedy.

Why do they use Head & Shoulders in Evolution?

The film's improvised solution is selenium sulfide, an ingredient in Head & Shoulders that is toxic to the alien organisms. It turns a 2001 creature-feature problem into one of the movie's best-known jokes.

Is Evolution connected to The X-Files?

No, it is a separate 2001 film, although David Duchovny's role as Ira Kane naturally reminds viewers of his work as Fox Mulder. Ivan Reitman directed it as a comedy rather than as an X-Files story.

Who are the main scientists in Evolution?

Ira Kane is a college professor and Harry Block is his colleague who studies the meteor's rapidly changing life forms. Julianne Moore plays government epidemiologist Allison Reed, adding a third scientific perspective to the team.
