A reasonably benevolent scientist decides to test his virtual reality computer program on a mentally-retarded young gardener who has often been brutally taunted, teased and exploited. The experiment, which sends nearly-real computer generated impulses to the man's brain, results in the gardener growing ever more intelligent. As his perceptive ability crosses into the extra-sensory, he seeks revenge on those who used to humiliate and hurt him. (official distributor synopsis)

This film must be perceived in the context of the time it was created, when digital tricks were truly in their infancy. Their use in this form could have been revolutionary back then, but today it simply sounds ridiculous. However, the story is so wonderfully B-movie-like and presented as serious that you will either laugh or cry.
