INNERSPACE (PG) presented on 35mm
Innerspace at Revival House Perth
Buckle up for Joe Dante's wildly inventive 1987 sci-fi comedy adventure that takes miniaturization to microscopic extremes. When test pilot Tuck Pendleton volunteers for a top-secret experiment to be shrunk down and injected into a rabbit, industrial espionage goes wrong and he ends up inside hypochondriac store clerk Jack Putter instead.
Dennis Quaid brings swaggering charm to Tuck, a pilot who must navigate the human body like the ultimate flight simulator, while Martin Short delivers perfect neurotic energy as Jack, an ordinary man thrust into extraordinary circumstances. Meg Ryan sparkles as Tuck's girlfriend Lydia, caught between two worlds as she tries to help reunite the mismatched duo.
Dante's playful direction creates a unique blend of "Fantastic Voyage" wonder and screwball comedy, with groundbreaking special effects that bring the inner workings of the human body to vivid life. From heart chambers to stomach acid, every biological system becomes a thrilling landscape for adventure.
The film's clever premise allows for both spectacular visual sequences and intimate character moments, as Tuck literally gets inside Jack's head to help him find confidence and courage. Industrial Light & Magic's Oscar-winning visual effects create a microscopic world that's both scientifically fascinating and cinematically spectacular.
Winner of Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
