Dead Alive

Dead Alive

(1992)

In a world where the lines between life and death are blurred, “Dead Alive” follows the tumultuous journey of Emma Harris, a brilliant but reclusive bioengineer who stumbles upon a groundbreaking formula intended to revive deceased organisms. Set in the near future, where scientific advancement has reached unparalleled heights, Emma is on the brink of a revolution, one that could alter the fabric of human existence.

After a tragic accident claims the life of her younger brother, Jake, Emma becomes obsessed with her work, haunted by his memory and the guilt of not being able to save him. In a desperate attempt to bring him back, she conducts unapproved experiments in her underground lab, using her research to resurrect not just humans, but animals too. As her creations stir to life, the results are anything but predictable. Emma’s success attracts the attention of powerful corporations and ruthless government agents, all eager to exploit her discovery for military and financial gain.

Complicating matters, Emma struggles with the ethical implications of her work. The revived bodies possess fragmented memories and emotions, leading to chaos as they grapple with their newly forged identities. Among her subjects is Max, a loyal but confused dog who becomes Emma’s emotional anchor, and Lily, a young girl brimming with life who desperately seeks to understand the world she’s been brought back into. As these beings battle their own existential crises, a moral dilemma emerges—are they truly alive, or mere shadows of their former selves?

As external pressures mount, Emma is thrust into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. She must protect her creations and prevent their exploitation, while confronting her own demons. In a race against time, Emma forms an unlikely alliance with a gritty journalist, Tom, who is driven by a quest for truth amidst the chaos. Together, they challenge corporate greed and navigate a dangerous landscape where the very concept of life is at risk.

“Dead Alive” delves into themes of loss, redemption, and the consequences of playing god, all wrapped in a thrilling narrative that explores the fragility of life and the resilient power of love. As Emma fights to reclaim her brother’s legacy, the world watches to see what it truly means to be alive.
