Teenager Alan decided to buy a collection of games that look like elite commandos. After buying these exotic games, it seems that Alan is not aware that the games were programmed with military technology that turns them into reality. These games are back to life again including the Chip leader in life, and start to take their directions seriously. These games turn into real stories from the 'killing' of their enemies in the game of Gorgonites to other exciting games.
Though it starts promisingly, the picture ends as a standoff between the affection Dante and company bring to the project and its increasingly frenetic and tiresome emphasis on what special effects can make its little people do.
As with many films in which special effects are the real stars, the technology here commands more respect and interest than the material otherwise warrants.

It looks like the movie was edited down from a much meaner version, to our loss.
