In Tetsuo: The Iron Man, director Shinya Tsukamoto delivers a nightmarish cyberpunk vision of a man consumed by his obsession with technology, leading to a grotesque transformation into a metal monster. As the line between man and machine blurs, violence and chaos erupt, leading to a bloody showdown between the protagonist and his metal fetishist nemesis. Combining frenetic editing, industrial sound design, and striking black and white cinematography, Tetsuo: The Iron Man is a visceral and unforgettable experience that has become a cult classic of Japanese cinema.

Tetsuo: The Iron Man is a twisted and disturbing cyberpunk film from Japan, following a man's terrifying transformation into metal.

A strange man known only as the metal fetishist, who seems to have an insane compulsion to stick scrap metal into his body, is hit and possibly killed by a Japanese salaryman, out for a drive with his girlfriend. The salaryman then notices that he is being slowly overtaken by some kind of disease that is turning his body into scrap metal, and that his nemesis is not in fact dead but is somehow masterminding and guiding his rage and frustration-fueled transformation.
