Plots(1)
Rollie Tyler (Bryan Brown) is the best special effects technician working in show business. His ability to explode a car, create prosthetic make-up effects or conjure a monster on cue is exemplary and his reputation is second to none. But this time around it's not Hollywood calling the shots, it's the Justice Department and it's a matter of life and death. His assignment: to expertly stage the public assassination of a high-profile underworld witness and allow him to disappear for good. With all the pieces in place and the clock ticking down to show time, nothing prepares Rollie for the dangerous thrill-ride ahead - real bullets, real blood and no second takes! Double-crossed and hunted by those who hired him, with Lt Leo McCarthy (Brian Dennehy) on his trail Rollie quickly learns that he can trust no-one and that the only thing that can save his life is the unequalled mastery of special effects.
