Brando is the demented Dr. Moreau, living on a remote island, whose quest at superseding evolution turns dangerous. Stranded in the open ocean, U.N. diplomat Edward Douglas (Thewlis) is rescued and taken to the island by Moreau’s assistant (Kilmer). Inevitably trapped on the island, Douglas becomes witness to the doctor’s genetic human-animal experiments to create a peaceful sub-species. But Moreau’s beasts revolt in a frenzy of animalistic behavior, threatening the entire island.
