help The Lawnmower Man FAQ
Is The Lawnmower Man really based on Stephen King's story?
Only nominally — the 1992 film shares almost nothing with King's short story from his 1970s collection "Night Shift." King successfully sued to have his name removed from the film's marketing.
Is there a sequel to The Lawnmower Man?
Yes — "Lawnmower Man 2: Jobe's War" (also released as "Beyond Cyberspace") arrived in 1996, with Matt Frewer taking over the role of Jobe from Jeff Fahey. It's widely regarded as far weaker than the original.
Who stars in The Lawnmower Man?
Pierce Brosnan plays scientist Dr. Lawrence Angelo and Jeff Fahey plays gardener Jobe Smith. Brosnan became James Bond in "GoldenEye" three years later, in 1995.
How does The Lawnmower Man end?
Jobe abandons his physical body and ascends entirely into the virtual reality network. The film's infamous final image shows phones around the world ringing simultaneously — the network's new ghost reaching out.
