A double bill of 1990s sci-fi movies. In 'The Lawnmower Man' (1992), when simple-minded gardener Jobe Smith (Jeff Fahey) becomes the subject of Dr Angelo (Pierce Brosnan)'s experiments with brain power, he rapidly develops into a genius. However, with his newfound intelligence Jeff begins to get ideas of his own about how the research should continue and soon transforms into an unmanageable megalomaniac who has visions of God... Famous for its innovative computer-generated special effects sequences, the film was one of the first virtual reality thrillers and a direct influence upon such films as 'Virtuosity' and 'eXistenZ'. In the sequel 'The Lawnmower Man 2 - Beyond Cyberspace' (1995) the hapless Jobe (Patrick Bergin, inheriting the role from Jeff Fahey) returns from the first film and convinces his doctor to hook him back up to the computer system that gave him a virtual alter ego. The doctor wants Jobe to create a mammoth computer city/system in cyberspace thus bringing him many riches. However, Jobe has plans of his own and wants the use of a special chip to decipher an encryption code which will allow him to control the world from inside cyberspace.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. The Lawnmower Man: In this sci-fi thriller The Lawnmower Man Pierce Brosnan plays Dr Lawrence Angelo, a brilliant scientist obsessed with perfecting a revolutionary Virtual reality computer software. When his experiments on animals fail, he finds the ideal substitute : Jobe Smith, a slow witted gardener - "The Lawnmower Man". 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 shadowy group that seeks to use the technology to create an invincible war machine. When the experiments change the simple Lawnmower Man into a superhuman being, the stage is set for a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde struggle for the control of Jobe's mind and the future of the world. Lawnmower Man 2 - Beyond Cyberspace: God Made Him Simple. Science Made Him A God. Now He Wants Revenge.... There is a clear distinct line between the fantasies you can imagine and what is real. It is a line that preserves sanity. It is a line that protects us from the danger of eternal confusion. One man has just discovered how to cross that line. Now he can penetrate a realm of infinite possibility, the world of virtual reality. He can annihilate our reality. He can create a diabolical new world, a universe where he is God. Only one man possesses the knowledge to stop him..... Game on.....
