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 poIIuted 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 Wheeler-NichoIson (Fletch) is Lori, a former bodyguard compeIIed into serving her former boss, Juice (Lu Leonard), a vicious deaIer, during an exchange with the ruthless addict, Plughead (Vernon WelIs). When a police bust causes everything to go wrong, Lori ends up with the score and an opportunity to change her life, but she needs to get to New York and escape the sadistic Plughead - not to mention the cops pursuing her - to capitalize on the ilIegaI cache. Lori teams up with Danner (Jim Metzler), a "synthetic" gigoIo held captive by an idea Juice has pIanted 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 clever plotting 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 expIored. |
