The Verdict: A Must-Buy


The Ride Of Your Death...


From director Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Burbs) and producer Steven Spielberg (Poltergeist, Back to the Future) comes Innerspace, an action-comedy adventure that will turn your world inside out!


Maverick pilot Tuck Pendleton (Dennis Quaid) is about to make history as part of a scientific experiment to be miniaturised and injected into the body of a rabbit... but when rogue scientists steal the new technology, he finds himself injected into hypochondriac grocery clerk Jack Putter (Martin Short) instead. Together with ace reporter Lydia Maxwell (Meg Ryan), Jack must find the stolen tech that will get Tuck back to regular size and out of his body - before the bad guys extract him by force!


With Dante's unique mix of wit, charm and screwball action, as well as extraordinary Oscar-winning visual effects, Innerspace is a beloved classic of 80s cinema that remains as funny and exciting as ever in this brand new 4K restoration.
