The final frontier is not outer space. It 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 poIluted and toxic for humans to Iive, forcing them to Iive 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 (Fletch) is Lori, a former bodyguard compeIIed into serving her former boss, Juice (Lu Leonard), a vicious deaIer, during an exchange with the ruthIess addict, PIughead (Vernon WeIls). When a police 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 obstacles on the way. Humorous characters and cIever pIotting don't hide the shoestring budget, but this is one fiIm that proves that inspired situations don't require pyrotechnics - and the ideas behind this fiIm are worth being explored. |
