By Phil Mills | May 22, 2024
Unearthed Films are bringing the 1991 American sci-fi superhero movie ‘The Guyver’ to US Blu-ray and 4K UHD on July 2, 2024.
Based on the manga by Yoshiki Takaya and directed by Screaming Mad George and Steve Wang, the film revolves around a college student who discovers an alien device which transforms him into an alien-hybrid super soldier. The cast includes Jack Armstrong, Mark Hamill, Vivian Wu, David Gale, and Michael Berryman.
Synopsis: Sean Barker (Jack Armstrong) is a college student who discovers the “Guyver”, an alien mechanical device that merges with his own body, turning him into a super-powerful cyborg fighting machine. The device belongs to Chronos, an evil corporation run by human mutants that metamorphize into monstrous soldiers called “Zoanoids”. Chronos badly wants the Guyver back and sends a gang of Zoanoids to kidnap Sean’s girlfriend, Mizuki (Vivian Wu). Sean rescues Mizuki with the help of Max Reed (Mark Hamill), a CIA agent determined to keep the device from falling into the hands of Chronos. However, the rescue attempt is not completely successful, thereby triggering a series of epic battles between the forces of good and evil.
