You know the expression "get inside his head?" Well, in this movie they actually do it. Cusack plays an out-of-work puppeteer who is finally forced to seek employment. He gets hired as a file clerk in this strange company's office. The floor of the building this company occupies is only 4 feet high and you have to stop the elevator in mid-floor in order to get out. One night he hears a strange noise behind a file cabinet. On investigation, our hero discovers a small ventilator shaft. He crawls in, and starts down the shaft when suddenly he gets sucked into another dimension and wakes up inside John Malkovich's body. And things only get stranger from there. It's Alice's Wonderland brought to life. Malkovich's own performance is dead on target for this bizarre romp.
