With the infamous tagline “Be afraid. Be very afraid”, The Fly follows the eccentric scientist Seth Brundle, who transforms into a fly when an experiment in teletransportation goes awry. Based on the short story of the same name by George Langelaan and the earlier 1958 film adaptation, and featuring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis in the leading roles, The Fly is a multi-layered work. Equally unsettling and fascinating, it would go on to be a big commercial success.
