During a closed-door demonstration of her new virtual reality video game, brilliant game designer Allegra Geller (Jennifer Jason Leigh) survives an attempt on her life by a crazed assassin. On the run with Ted Pikul (Jude Law), a young marketing trainee who falls into the role of bodyguard, Allegra convinces Ted to join her in her game, eXistenZ. As the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur, the real-life dangers they sought to escape start to merge with their virtual world. (101 Films)
