Review Summary
Seth Brundle(Jeff Goldblum)invents a teleportation machine because he hates ground travel. He meets a science magazine journalist, Veronica(Geena Davis)who he later falls in love with. She documents his experiments with the machine. But one night Seth decides to try teleporting himself through. But a fly gets in with him and the two morph together, creating, over time a genuinely frightening monster.
