The Lawnmower Man

"The Lawnmower Man" is a 1992 science fiction film that explores the intersection of technology and humanity. It follows a simple gardener named Jobe who undergoes experimental treatments to enhance his intelligence using virtual reality and advanced computer technology. As he becomes increasingly intelligent, he also becomes more powerful and disconnected from reality, leading to unforeseen consequences.

It is loosely based on a short story by Stephen King, though the film's narrative diverges significantly from the original material.
