1992, 103 minutes, Rated M

"God made him simple. Science made him god."

Jobe Smith (Jeff Fahey) is an adult with the mental capacity of a six-year-old child whose uncanny gardening skills have earned him the nickname, "The Lawnmower Man". Though his mental deficiency has made him the target of local bullies, his innocence and gentle manner has earned him many friends. Jobe's life changes forever one day when he encounters the brilliant scientist, Dr. Lawrence Angelo (Pierce Brosnan), who hopes to help Jobe attain advanced intelligence through virtual reality and a new drug that he has developed. The results are rapid, astonishing and before long Jobe's mutant powers have transformed him from his former sweet self into a hate-filled monster, with an insatiable appetite for world domination. Jobe's reign of terror has just begun.
