Description

Can the opposing forces of good and evil ever be separated? Dr. Jekyll is obsessed with the question, and takes to his laboratory to find an answer. The philanthropic, genial physician creates an astonishing drug that draws out the dark side of his own nature - an evil, double identity called Mr. Hyde. At first, an antidote restores the doctor to his better self, but once realized, Mr. Hyde grows more and more powerful and resistant to restraints. Ultimately, he commits an atrocity that would be unthinkable to the mild-mannered doctor. Inspired by a nightmare, Stevenson's classic story reflects the Victorian preoccupation with science and the questions raised by scientific discovery.
