As the LF-01 deep space probe approaches Earth, its pilot - John Jameson - radios in to the Life Foundation's mission control to announce his arrival and that he has secured specimens of extraterrestrial life. As John is cleared for landing and initiates the re-entry sequence, there is a disturbance onboard the shuttle, causing it to crash in the Hutan Simpanan Borneo forest twenty miles west of Sibu, Sarawak, East Malaysia. Malaysian paramedics and Life Foundation personnel arrive to secure the specimens and retrieve bodies from the wreckage. In San Francisco, Life Foundation CEO Carlton Drake enters into the mission control room bickering with Dr. Dora Skirth, one of his top researchers. One of the technicians informs him that there was a breach on the shuttle as it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere; and that one of the samples is missing. On a screen being live-streamed from the crash-site, the coroner - Corinne Wan - notices that Jameson is still alive. An ambulance rushes him to the Sibu hospital, but en-route Jameson suddenly opens his eyes - which are covered by a silvery ooze - and sits up. As Corinne preps an injection, Jameson's left arm extends into a silvery tendril and latches onto her, as another tendril coils around and snaps the neck of the driver. The ambulance crashes and flips onto its side, the coroner easily ripping open the roof. Corinne's injuries regenerate as she walks down the empty road, under the control of the silvery alien.
In San Francisco, Eddie Brock - an investigative reporter working for the MNBN broadcasting network - is woken up by his fiancée, Anne Weying, who tells him that she has to give depositions regarding the Life Foundation. Anne reminds Eddie of his meeting with his boss; and in turn, Eddie reminds Anne of their date that evening. Eddie sets out for the MNBN head office, greeting his friend Richard, one of the security guards. Eddie asks how his daughter is doing and congratulates him when Richard tells him she got a scholarship to MIT university; ignoring Richard asking he park his Ducati Scrambler motorcycle elsewhere. In his office, Jack - the head of MNBN - tells Eddie that he has secured the exclusive of a lifetime: an interview with Carlton Drake, who wants to assure the public that the rocket crash was an anomaly. Eddie - who is the host of a vlogging show where he exposes corporate corruption - is apprehensive, remarking that Drake is corrupt. Jack tells Eddie to not stir up trouble, as Drake is wealthy enough to buy out and shut down the MNBN if he saw fit. Eddie begrudgingly agrees, but later that evening he complains about the assignment to Anne. Anne chides him to behave himself when he insists on following up allegations of corruption, reminding him that he had been fired from the Daily Globe and run out of New York for stirring up trouble with the network. That evening, as Anne sleeps, Eddie gets out of bed to get a drink and notices she has gotten a confidential email from her legal firm. Surreptitiously opening it, Eddie sees it's a wrongful death claim alleging that the Life Foundation recruited homeless people to participate in unethical pharmaceutical experiments that resulted in many of their deaths.
The next day, Carlton Drake speaks to a group of students regarding the Life Foundation's rocket program. When one of them - a girl named Allie - attempts to ask a question, Drake scolds the other students for shushing her and praises her inquisitiveness. Dr. Skirth arrives and tells Drake it's time for his interview, so he departs and leaves her to mind the children. Later, Eddie Brock interviews Drake regarding his early career and the creation of the Life Foundation; Drake stating that he believes space holds the keys to solving all of humanity's problems. Going off-script, Eddie brings up the allegations regarding the Life Foundation's pharmaceutical experiments. Drake initially tries to play the allegations off as "fake news", but when Eddie starts listing names from Anne's email he shuts the interview down and has Eddie escorted out by security - telling Eddie to have a nice life. At the MNBN HQ, Jack tells Eddie to reveal his source and substantiate his accusations with evidence. Eddie refuses to do so, saying he acted on a hunch, and is summarily fired. Travelling to Anne's law-firm, he sees her carrying her belongings out in a cardboard box. Anne furiously berates Eddie for selfishly violating her privacy - which got her fired - and breaks up with him before storming off.
That evening, the three remaining extraterrestrial specimens are delivered to the Life Foundation. Contained inside canisters are three amorphous creatures - one black, one blue, and one yellow. In Malaysia, Corinne arrives in a street-market and walks up to a man cooking eel soup. Grabbing one of the live eels, she starts voraciously eating it but is accosted by the cook. Transforming her left arm into a blade, she slits the man's throat and resumes eating, but is approached by a trio of thugs. Dropping the eel, Corinne fires a barrage of spikes from her back, killing the thugs and several civilians. Spotting the sole survivor - an old woman - Corinne approaches her and transfers the silvery alien into her before collapsing, dead.
Six months later, Dora Skirth introduces the yellow alien specimen - which the Life Foundation have dubbed "symbiotes" - to a rabbit, explaining to Drake that the symbiotes cannot survive in Earth's atmosphere for long without a host. Drake remarks that all of the hosts they've tried have thus far been rejected and consumed from the inside-out; and Skirth speculates the symbiotes need a compatible host, similar to an organ transplant. Upon seeing the rabbit has successfully bonded to the yellow symbiote, Drake tells her to immediately proceed to human trials; subtly threatening Skirth's children when she protests the lack of ethical standards. At a bar, Eddie Brock laments his misfortunes to Jack the bartender, asking for the TV to be turned off when an interview with Carlton Drake comes on announcing the imminent launch of a new rocket. Walking to a local convenience store, Eddie greets a homeless woman named Maria, who he has befriended. Maria offers him a free newspaper for five dollars, which Eddie pays her twenty for. Entering the store, Eddie greets the owner - Mrs. Chen - who notes that he looks out of sorts and asks if he's been meditating. As Eddie bickers with her while he browses the shelves, a man enters and orders a bottle of whiskey. As Mrs. Chen protests, the man pulls a gun and threatens to increase the price for his "protection", taking her money and the alcohol; Eddie watching but powerless to intervene. Buying some Pepto Bismol and a sandwich, Eddie returns to his low-rent apartment and attempts to find a journalism-related job only to learn he has been blacklisted. Attempting to meditate to an Eckhart Tolle CD, he is interrupted by his neighbor playing loud rock music and goes to bed frustrated.
At the Life Foundation, Carlton Drake addresses Dr. Skirth and his other scientists, praising their contributions to the evolution of humanity. He has the first human test subject - a man named Issac - brought in, and personally addresses him; commenting on the Biblical significance of his name and denouncing God for forsaking humanity. The blue symbiote bonds to Issac, who rapidly goes into convulsions and dies, the symbiote emerging from his corpse. Irritated by this failure, Drake demands that the next test subject be brought in.
