Synopsis
Scientist Seth Brundle (masterfully played by Jeff Goldblum) may change the world with his new discovery: revolutionary teleportation technology. That is, until he decides to test his new invention on himself. When the experiment goes awry and a fly infiltrates the machine, Bundle begins to undergo a strange mutation and his partner, Ronnie (Geena Davis), must confront the vanishing of the human she loved. In this remake of the classic 1958 sci-fi film, the filmmaker makes his most communicative film, establishing his own trademark in his quest to record the metamorphoses of the body and the tensions between technological progress and the most human traits of his characters.
