Publisher's Synopsis
David Cronenberg's first major feature film. The residents of Starliner Island seem to have an idyllic lifestyle - they live in a remote high-rise tower block with its own shopping complex, recreation facilities and even a private clinic. However, when a mysterious disease takes hold of the Starliner, random acts of sexual violence begin to occur. At the clinic, Dr St Luc struggles to discover a remedy to the encroaching virus before the entire island is consumed in a wave of violence.
