David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of the 1958 SciFi classic about a scientist who has a horrific accident when he tries to use his newly invented teleportation device.
Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), a brilliant but eccentric scientist attempts to woo investigative journalist Veronica Quaife (Geena Davis) by offering her a scoop on his latest research in the field of matter transportation, which against all the expectations of the scientific establishment have proved successful.
