When an experimental space voyage goes awry, four people are forever changed by cosmic rays: Reed Richards, inventor and leader of the group gains the ability to stretch his body and takes the name Mr. Fantastic. His girlfriend, Sue Storm, gains the ability to turn invisible and create force fields becoming The Invisible Girl. Her little brother, Johnny Storm, becomes The Human Torch with the ability to control fire, including covering his own body with flame. The pilot Ben Grimm is turned into the super-strong, super-tough Thing. Together they become a team of super-heroes and use their unique powers to foil the evil plans of villains.
I must say, this is the world's worst movie. I'm talking worst, bottom of the barrel, the absolute pits. Which is why I absolutely love it! Made for less than the catering budget of the 2005 version, it is oh so much more fun. Confused? I have been a comic book fan for so many years that I believe I was born in the Negative zone. This movie, as bad as it is, is something I both have to love out of respect to the characters, and on the simple fact that taken as a corny movie, its amazing! Roger Corman... you da man.
