"Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 2-part TV production is a science-fiction classic that explores the notion of a computer-generated other world."
""Somewhere in the future there is a computer project called Simulacron ... which is able to simulate a full featured reality, when suddenly project leader Henry Vollmer dies. His successor Dr. Fred Stiller experiences odd phenomena. A good friend, Guenther Lause, disappears in the middle of a conversation and a week later nobody has ever heard of him. And those fits of dizzyness - Stiller cannot believe himself to be fool. There has to be an explanation for all this. Could Simulacron have something to do with it?"--IMDb website."
"A dystopic science-fiction epic, World on a Wire is German wunderkind Rainer Werner Fassbinder's gloriously cracked, boundlessly inventive take on future paranoia. With dashes of Kubrick, Vonnegut, and Dick, but a flavor entirely his own, Fassbinder tells the noir-spiked tale of reluctant action hero Fred Stiller (Klaus Lowitsch), a cybernetics engineer who uncovers a massive corporate and governmental conspiracy. At risk? Our entire (virtual) reality as we know it. This long unseen three-and-a-half-hour labyrinth is a satiric and surreal look at the weird world of tomorrow from one of cinema's kinkiest geniuses."
"Après la mort soudaine du professeur Vollmer à l'institut de recherche en cybernétique et futurologie, le docteur Stiller est nommé à la tête du projet Simulacron : un programme de réalité virtuelle, simulateur d'évènements dans un monde composé de 9 700 unités identitaires. Lors d'une soirée, Stiller assiste à la disparition du chef de la sécurité. Mais quand il raconte cela, personne ne comprend de qui il parle... . Avec Klaus Lowitsch, Ulli Lommel."
"Professor Vollmer, ontwerper van de geniale computer Simulacron, sterft plotseling onder verdachte omstandigheden. Zijn opvolger probeert het mysterie te ontrafelen."
"The noir-spiked tale of a reluctant action hero, a cybernetics engineer who uncovers a massive corporate conspiracy substituting simulations for reality."
