Fantastic VoyageFour men and one woman are reduced to a microscopic fraction of their original size. They board a miniaturized atomic sub and are injected into a dying man's carotid artery. Fighting their way past giant antibodies, passing through the heart itself, entering the inner ear where even the slightest sound would destroy them, they battle relentlessly into the cranium. Their objective, to reach a blood clot and destroy it with the piercing rays of a laser gun. At stake, the fate of the entire world. |
