The Fly II

                                                      

                      

      "As for the "cure" he was working on: he dragged your mother kicking and

           screaming into that telepod, that they might be fused together in one beautiful

         body. So your mother blew his brains out with a shotgun. *There's your cure"

 

 The movie begins with the birth of Martin Brundle. Martin's birth is unique, as he is the offspring of Veronica Quaife and Seth Brundle/Brundlefly, the human-housefly hybrid from the first film. The birth is under the control of Seth Brundle's employer, Anton Bartok, owner of Bartok Industries (which financed Brundle's teleportation experiments in the first film). Veronica dies during childbirth, leaving Martin in the custody of Bartok, who plans to exploit his unique genes.

Martin's lifespan is quickly accelerated as a result of his insect genes. He knows he is aging faster than a normal human, but he doesn't know of his insect heritage. He matures into a fully adult human in just five years. Bartok offers Martin a position working on Seth Brundle's telepods. In those five years, Bartok and his scientists have not made any progress in getting them to work. He hopes Martin will finish what his father started.

As he works on the telepods, Martin befriends Beth Logan. They grow closer together, and Martin eventually gets the telepods to work. Martin eventually learns the truth of his father's fate, his own biology, Bartok's motives, and a possible cure. However, the cure requires the sacrifice of another human being. Swapping out his insect genes for healthy genes will cure Martin of his rapid aging and make him a normal human being, but the donor of healthy genes will suffer a grotesque genetic fate. Things begin to culminate when the signs of Martin's transformation begin. He and Beth flee, but his changes become too much for her to handle. Beth surrenders them both to Bartok in desperation.

However, Bartok is not completely prepared for the full brunt of "Martinfly". Martin emerges from a cocoon, he kills those trying to subdue him, as well as taking revenge on those who betrayed him.....but can he get a normal human with a good set of genes....or will he go the same way as his father....
