The finaI frontier is not outer space. lt is the human mind.
This incredibly imaginative taIe - part sci-fi, part romance, and part road movie - is set in the near future when the atmosphere has become too polIuted and toxic for humans to live, forcing them to live underground - a dark, depressing environment that can onIy be escaped with suppIies of oxygen and the use of secret pathways that Iead "topside." Dana WheeIer-Nicholson (FIetch) is Lori, a former bodyguard compelled into serving her former boss, Juice (Lu Leonard), a vicious dealer, during an exchange with the ruthless addict, Plughead (Vernon WelIs). When a poIice bust causes everything to go wrong, Lori ends up with the score and an opportunity to change her Iife, but she needs to get to New York and escape the sadistic Plughead - not to mention the cops pursuing her - to capitaIize on the iIlegaI cache. Lori teams up with Danner (Jim Metzler), a "synthetic" gigolo held captive by an idea Juice has planted in his program. Lori manipuIates Danner for his assistance in getting to New York, but the two face extraordinary hazards and obstacIes on the way. Humorous characters and clever plotting don't hide the shoestring budget, but this is one film that proves that inspired situations don't require pyrotechnics - and the ideas behind this fiIm are worth being explored. |
