Geschichte
After his Nobel Prize-winning physicist father's death, billionaire Jerry Cornelius becomes entangled in the pursuit of his father's mysterious 'Final Programme'. The programme is a blueprint for creating a perfect, self-replicating human being, stored on microfilm. Led by the formidable Miss Brunner, who consumes her lovers, a group of scientists seeks Cornelius' help to obtain it. Pursuing them across war-torn Europe, they eventually secure the microfilm from Jerry's brother Frank. Together with Miss Brunner, Jerry heads to an abandoned underground Nazi fortress in the Arctic to run the programme, with himself and Miss Brunner as the subjects.
