Synopsis

Humour and high adventure combine in the biggest, new action adventure in years – even if its characters are very small.

Infinity Drake – aka Finn – is off on holiday with his mad scientist uncle when they are summoned to a crisis meeting. Scarlatti, a lethal bio-weapon – an über-wasp killing machine – has been released by a pitiless villain, with incalculable consequences for mankind.

Finn gets shrunk to 9mm and has to jump in a tiny Apache helicopter with three soldiers in a desperate race to destroy the beast that's out there, very angry and many times their size...
