When talented comic book artist Jon Lansdale (Michael Caine) loses his right hand in a car accident, both his career and his relationship with his wife take a downward spin. Bitter, angry, he soon discovers that his severed hand is killing the people who have wronged him. Charles Fleischer, the voice of Roger Rabbit, appears in a supporting role.
Oliver Stone, who directed The Hand, also appears in the film playing a bum.
