In this sci-fi thriller, a man and a woman must fend off a killer whom they cannot see. Scientist Sebastian Caine (
Kevin Bacon) is working with a secret military research team headed by Dr. Kramer (
William Devane), assigned to create new intelligence technology. With the help of his colleagues Linda McKay (
Elisabeth Shue) and Matt Kensington (
Josh Brolin), Sebastian has been developing a serum that makes people invisible. The formula is new and unstable, but after a risky but successful test on an ape, an impatient Sebastian, under pressure from Kramer, decides to try it on himself. It works, but no one counted on the side effects; unable to reverse the serum's effects, an invisible Sebastian goes insane, and begins pursuing Linda (his former girlfriend) and Matt (Linda's current beau) in a fog of homicidal rage. Directed by Paul Verhoeven, Hollow Man also features
Kim Dickens, Mary Randle, Joey Slotnick, and Greg Grunberg. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
