Toffler, a businessman in New York, floats into someone else's body for the first time to attend a funeral in San Francisco at short notice. Eisner Scott was murdered by a rocket and his son Quayle takes over the family business. When Toffler wants to be turned back at the agreed time, he is told that his real body, in which the terrorist Fisk is, was kidnapped by him. Toffler cannot keep his current body because it has already been exchanged. It can therefore be transferred into a GEF clone, which is only viable for 53 hours. Together with his girlfriend Madeleine Renard he goes on a search. They reveal that Fisk, Quayle, and his lover, Alison De Waay, head of XChange , came together for the money. After a few twists and turns, Toffler manages to swap his body back from Fisk at the last moment. The villain dies in the clone body whose time has run out.
Reviews
- Cinema described the film as "weird", "intelligent", "fast", "cool" and "action-packed".
- For the lexicon of international films , it is “an insufficiently thought-out crime story that mixes science fiction with sex and action and garnishes the whole thing with a systemic criticism. Slowly and almost tension-free, the film only comes into pace at the end. "
