The Lawnmower ManNormalGenre: Sci-FiLabel: 101 FilmsDescription: Stunning audiences upon its release in 1992 with its once state-of-the-art special effects and CGI sequences The Lawnmower Man is on the one hand a cautionary tale of the dangers of man playing God and on the other a camp and massively over the top sci-fi romp which now provides a fascinating insight into where people saw virtual reality taking humanity 30 years ago. Dr. Lawrence Angelo (Pierce Brosnan) is a brilliant scientist obsessed with perfecting virtual reality software. When his experiments on animals fail he finds the ideal substitute - Jobe Smith (Jeff Fahey) a slow-witted gardener. Dr. Angelo's goal is to benefit his human guinea pig and ultimately mankind itself but evil lurks in the guise of The Shop a shadow group that seeks to use the technology to create an invincible war machine. When the experiments change the simple Jobe into a superhuman being the stage is set for a Jekyll-and-Hyde struggle for control of Jobe's mind and the future of the world.
The Lawnmower Man (Blu-ray) is ideal for those looking to enjoy classic sci-fi or thriller movie releases on their home theater system.
