The Lawnmower Man (1992), directed by Brett Leonard and loosely inspired by a short story by Stephen King, is a cyber-horror classic that explores the boundaries between human consciousness and virtual reality. Starring Jeff Fahey as a simple gardener transformed into a digital god and Pierce Brosnan as the scientist who unleashes him, the film became a defining piece of early-’90s techno-fantasy — blending experimental CGI with cautionary sci-fi storytelling.
This Unrated Director’s Cut VHS edition restores over 30 minutes of footage not seen in the theatrical release, expanding key sequences and deepening the film’s psychological and thematic layers. Issued during the peak of the cyberpunk home-video boom, it remains the definitive analog version for collectors and genre enthusiasts seeking the full vision of Leonard’s digital dystopia.
