In a grim and polluted corner of New Jersey, a meek janitor named Winston Gooze, portrayed by Peter Dinklage, endures a life of relentless bullying and corporate indifference at the hands of a corrupt conglomerate. His desperate attempt to expose their crimes backfires spectacularly, plunging him into a vat of toxic waste that transforms him into a monstrous, super-strong mutant. Reborn as the Toxic Avenger, this unlikely hero finds himself torn between seeking vengeance and protecting his community, including a determined activist played by Taylour Paige and a young boy, Jacob Tremblay, who sees the hero within the horror. Standing in his way is the ruthlessly ambitious CEO Bob Garbinger, brought to smarmy life by Kevin Bacon, who will stop at nothing to clean up his mess—permanently. Directed by Macon Blair, this riotous and gory reboot blends outrageous action with dark comedy, delivering a splatter-filled satire about environmental decay and the grotesque birth of an underdog champion.
