Set in the near future, eXistenZ depicts a society in which game designers are whorshipped as superstars and players can organically enter inside the games. At the center of the story is Allegra Geller (Jennifer Jason Leigh) whose latest games system eXistenZ taps so deeply into its users' fears and desires that it blurs the boundaries between reality and escapism.Forced to flee after a failed assassination attempt, Allegra teams with a novice security guard, Ted Pikul (Jude Law). Persuading Ted into playing the game, Allegra draws them both into a phantasmagoric world where existence ends and eXistenz begins.
