"The Final Programme" follows billionaire physicist Jerry Cornelius as he navigates a chaotic, war-ravaged Europe in pursuit of the enigmatic 'Final Programme,' a microfilm containing the blueprint for a perfect, self-replicating human being created by his late Nobel laureate father. Alongside the formidable and enigmatic Miss Brunner, who consumes her lovers, Jerry faces off against rival factions, including his own despised brother Frank, culminating in a climactic experiment within an abandoned Nazi fortress in the Arctic where Jerry and Miss Brunner become the subjects of the programme.
Trivia:
1. The film adapts Michael Moorcock's cult science fiction novel and is notable for its experimental, psychedelic visual style, which was quite unconventional for sci-fi films of its time.
2. Actress Jenny Runacre, who portrayed the mysterious Miss Brunner, performed her own stunts, including the underwater scenes, adding an intense authenticity to the character's ethereal and dangerous nature.
3. The movie was one of the earliest examples of British sci-fi cinema to explore themes of identity and transformation, influencing later works that blend experimental narrative techniques with genre storytelling.
