One of the most notable early sci-fi movies of all time.Jack Arnold directed this classic from 1957 starring Grant Williams and Randy Stuart.
Williams is enveloped by a mysterious cloud which sets off a reaction causing him to shrink in size. Slowly but surely he gets smaller and smaller.
At first he becomes a media sensation but there perils of his new existence endanger his very survival. Great scenes include confrontations with his pet cat and a spider. Classic stuff. And it sets up an existential question of what will his existence be like as he reaches atomic and subatomic size.
Great special effects and engaging story make this a winner.
