A science experiment involving advanced VR technology goes wrong, in a groundbreaking cult classic.
The only thing Jobe (Jeff Fahey) is good at is mowing the lawn. One minute a sweet and slow kinda guy, the next a world domination-obsessed megalomaniac, a transmutation that is the result of Dr. Angelo’s (hot and young Pierce Brosnan) highly advanced VR technology. A science experiment gone wrong.
Based on a 1975 short story by Stephen King - who sued the production over creative differences, as he usually does, The Lawnmower Man is nothing short of a cyber-demented-monkey-helmet-god-complex cocktail. Director Brett Leonard is known to have been very influential in VR and in this tech-horror driven film he manifests some of his predictions for the future of immersive experiences, and guess what… he isn’t too far off. A now cult science-fiction film sprinkled with adorably dated CGI imagery and an overload of nineties cheese on top of it. Nostalgic and untamed cinephiles, this film is for you!
