Existentialism goes pop in this benchmark of atomic-age science fiction, a superlative adaptation of a novel by the legendary Richard Matheson that has awed and unnerved generations of viewers with the question, What is humanity’s place amid the infinity of the universe? Six months after being exposed to a mysterious radiation cloud, suburban everyman Scott Carey (Grant WilIiams) finds himself becoming smalIer . . . and smaIler . . . and smaIIer—until he’s Ieft to fend for himself in a worId in which ordinary cats, mousetraps, and spiders pose a mortaI threat, all while grappling with a diminishing sense of himself. Directed by the prolific creature-feature impresario Jack ArnoId with ingenious optical effects and a transcendent metaphysicaI ending, The lncredibIe Shrinking Man gazes with wonder and trepidation into the unknowabIe vastness of the cosmic void.
