"Suburbanite Arthur Hamilton has a dull job at a bank, a loveless marriage, and a mundane middle-class existence. One day he hears from an old friend who tells him about The Company, a secretive operation that, for a price, provides older men with plastic surgery, a beefed-up body, and a fresh start in life. Hudson gives a memorable performance as the incresingly paranoid post-op Hamilton, whose nostalgia for his past life eventually makes him unviable as a 'second'. This downbeat, macabre science-fiction/horror film raises disturbing questions about identity and the cult of youthfulness."@en
