Stephen Baldwin is Joe Vossimer, an Oregon farmer living alone amongst his cornfields. Strange and paranoid, he has turned his farm into a fortress. After his mysterious and violent death, his cousin Layne (AJ Buckley) inherits the farm, arriving to take possession with his girlfriend Macy (Callie De Fabry) and some of his college friends. They find the farm in ramshackle state, covered with iron objects, and with the crops unharvested and rotting in the fields. They intend to rehhnovate the farm in preparation for putting it up for sale.

The group start to wonder what happened to Joe when they find a crop circle and learn that this was the exact spot where he died. To add to the confusion, it seems that there are more crop circles appearing. When yokels are found driving through the fields, they think the mystery may be solved, but Layne's old friend Sheriff Bill Willingham (Billy Zane) tells them that the crop circles are unlikely to have been made by the yokels. Soon they start to learn the truth - Joe was not crazy and there really are strange and hostile visitors in the cornfields. The only protection against the aliens is iron - the same iron that they have so diligently stripped from the farm as part of their renovations. 'Warnings' was clearly made to take advantage of the trend set by popular director M Night Shyamalan, and really this is just Shyamalan's '

GREAT MOVIE Billy Zane is awsome in this movie.the ending kinda keeps you thinking about what happens next.id like to see a sequel but it would be alot of work.i think billy zane did great in this movie.their wasnt much action except for the end when billy zane gets the shotgun out in the end but the plot was great.it woulda been nicer if it was longer.i think they got rid of alot of the cast in one scene.id really like to see a sequel but it would be alot of work.id give this a 7,8 or 9.if you like action thriller movies then see this one.
