In 1999 Los Angeles, an imprisoned ex-cop is given one last shot at redemption when he's turned loose to track down a virtual killer who has escaped the confines of cyberspace. Computer-generated special effects--and a pre-stardom performance from Russell Crowe as the digital killer--enhance this thriller from the director of 1992's THE LAWNMOWER MAN.
When Sid 6.7, a psychopathic robot, escapes from virtual reality and enters the real world, it is up to ex-cop Parker Barnes, whose family Sid violently murdered, and police psychologist Madison Carter to hunt down the killing machine.
