“Superstar computer game designer Allegra Geller has just invented ‘eXistenZ’ – a new game designed to sweep away all barriers between reality and fantasy, aided by a ‘bioport’ connecting the game to a player’s nervous system. When Allegra arrives to present the game to the bosses of a large company, some of those present are attacked by a rival faction…” -Film Index International
