At a science convention in the United States, young journalist Ronnie meets Seth Brundle, an eccentric scientist who claims to have invented a groundbreaking teleportation device called telepods. Initially skeptical, Ronnie is drawn into Seth's world when he invites her to his dingy laboratory located in an abandoned alleyway. There, she witnesses the successful teleportation of a simple object—her pantyhose, bringing a mix of admiration and curiosity for Seth’s ambition and genius.
