Illustrated Man

Don´t dare stare at the illustrated man.

Rod Steiger plays the tattoo-covered title role in this fascinating vision of doom and danger based on the classic short story collection by futurist Ray Bradbury. Robert Drivas portrays a good-natured drifter who can´t tear his eyes from Steiger´s freakish illustrations. And Claire Bloom is the mysterious seductress who created the "art" that curses its bearer - and comes to life in a nightmarish trio of tales.

Two spoiled children turn playtime into slay time (from The Veldt). Shipwrecked astronauts wander across a planet cursed by The Long Rain. And loving parents choose their children´s fate when the end nears (from The Last Night of the World). Every one of The Illustrated Man´s pictures tells a story. And every story ends in terror.
