Kevin Bacon is an arrogant scientist who runs a laboratory testing an invisibility serum on animals. He decides to inject himself but returning to visibility turns out to be problematic. His fellow scientists, including ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Shue, try to keep him confined to the lab, but he manages to escape. The first thing he does is rape a neighbor in a rather unpleasant scene. Back in the lab, he descends into madness, locking everyone inside and killing them in grisly ways. Eventually only he and Shue are left and their final epic battle in an elevator shaft is something only Hollywood could come up with. Disappointing trash from Verhoeven.
