The Fly

Prepare yourself to witness a fusion of man and insect that has to be experienced to be believed! Dr Seth Brundle plays fast and loose with the laws of nature. Experimenting with "live" matter transmission. The day comes to test the ultimate guinea pig... himself! But that's the day the fly gets into the works and his DNA, genes and molecules are interwoven with that of the insect. Brundle watches helplessly as he is transformed step by step into a living, grotesque mutant - incredibly agile, super strong and driven by insane appetites he cannot control.
