Plot: Loosely based on a short story by Stephen King, The Lawnmower Man was the first film to explore virtual reality technology and boasts a dazzling collection of computer-animated sequences. The story concerns the slightly-mad scientist Dr. Lawrence Angelo (Pierce Brosnan), who as part of a secret government agency called Cybertech has been experimenting with something termed intelligence enhancement. By using drugs and virtual reality technology, Angelo has managed to boost the IQ of experimental chimps. But he also makes them more aggressive and, bit by bit, they go insane. When one of his animal subjects goes on a rampage, Angelo decides to go for a human guinea pig instead -- Jobe Smith (Jeff Fahey), a slightly retarded man who cuts his lawn. Not only do Jobe's intelligence and sex-drive improve thanks to Angelo's regimen, but he also develops extrasensory perception. As Jobe's mental and emotional state keeps increasing, so does his strength. As he gains more power, Jobe becomes angrier and more vindictive until he vows to get even with all the town's people that patronized him and treated him badly. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Lawnmower Man is a great movie with a great storyline and fantastic visuals. The acting is believeable with both Pierce Brosnan and Jeff Fahey doing a slendid job. Lawnmower Man 2 should have been put in the lawnmower. When you hear about really bad sequels, this is what they were talking about. Just get Lawnmower Man as a single and you won't be disappointed.

Dated visuals put a damper on the impact of the movie

If no one has heard of The Lawnmower Man series, this movie was a considered a breakthrough in movie magic in its time during the early 90's. Many people say this was the TRON movie of its era heavy on special effects and blazing visuals never seen in movie theaters. This was true and The Lawnmower Man was astounding when it first came out however it somehow lost its appeal since the special effects actually bring down the movie.

This is a good scientific movie about a doctor named Angelo running some tests using virtual reality on a mentally challenged man name Jobe. After doing the tests and taking some drugs, Jobe becomes smarter and more dangerous. After doing more tests and more drugs, Jobe tries to take over Virtual Reality and become a Computer god, but Dr. Angelo tries to stop him, even if it means blowing up everything he's worked for. If you love sci-fi, you'll love THE LAWNMOWER MAN!!!

Awesome, classic sci-fi!

This movie is great, a classic any science fiction fan can enjoy. The plot is based on a short story by Stephen King. I've never read the book, but it seems like King's work. Classic cyberpunk, virtual reality themes from the 90's. Some cool CGI special effects (for the time) and some good actors. I won't get into the plot, but basically its virtual reality gone wrong. I've watched this film many times, its worth owning if you are into VR and the like.
