Last Action Hero

A Schwarzenegger double-bill.
THE 6TH DAY: In the not-too-distant future, when pets can be cloned after they die and "virtual girlfriends" can be installed and programmed, Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger) works as a helicopter tour pilot. On his birthday he comes home to discover an identical version of himself--an illegal human clone--celebrating with his family and friends. The next thing he knows, a squad of killers is after him in order to hide the evidence of their cloning activities, funded by Michael Drucker (Tony Goldwyn), a powerful businessman who hopes to make billions from human cloning in collaboration with his medical expert, Dr. Griffin Weir (Robert Duvall). Of course, nobody believes Adam when he says there's an impostor living his life, and soon he has to take matters into his own hands while being chased by bad guys who won't stay dead thanks to the magic of cloning and Syncordings, instant memory downloads. THE 6TH DAY is an intriguing sci-fi thriller, combining science fact and fiction with everything viewers could want from a Schwarzenegger movie: terrific special effects and an action-packed story, with two Arnolds for twice the fun.
LAST ACTION HERO: An alienated young boy magically enters the movie-world of his favourite film hero and brings him back to reality to face a different kind of challenge. The casting is offbeat but this underrated comedy takes some sharp jabs at the overblown reality of action movies.

  • Critic's review of Last Action Hero

    View all critics' reviews (2)

    • A film that tries to have it both ways, simultaneously mocking and celebrating the conventions of action movies, which leaves audiences, as well as the actors and director, in a state of bewildered confusion.

      (Slightly) hidden gem

      This is probably the best Arnie film that hardly anyone has ever seen.

      Arnie's best films are where his lack of acting talent is marginalised ... read more »

      Childhood Memory

      Rented to take me back to my childhood and one of the films that stands out as memorable from then.

      Arnie at his best

      One of Arnies forgotten best films. The films storyline sounds bizarre but from the moment you watch it, it becomes real. Arnies acting is probably one of his ... read more »

    The Kid

    He'll be back

    • 15 Dec 2004

    Arnold Schwarzenegger's ongoing love affair with the silver-screen looks set to run and run, despite repetitive assurances that the Governator would "not be back". Since he is now officially a politician, one can excuse Arnie for failing to live up to the iron-clad promises in his manifesto, and no surprise then that the world's true Last Action Hero will be starring in a new film, The Kid & I. Tom Arnold, who acted alongside the governor of California's in True Lies, is set to co- Read more
