Story
As the president of a trashy TV channel, Max Renn is desperate for new programming to attract viewers. When he happens upon "Videodrome," a TV show dedicated to gratuitous torture and punishment, Max sees a potential hit and broadcasts the show on his channel. However, after his girlfriend auditions for the show and never returns, Max investigates the truth behind Videodrome and discovers that the graphic violence may not be as fake as he thought.
Summary
Max Renn, president of UHF station Civic-TV, deals in exploitation fare to keep viewers tuning in. Desperate for a fresh hit, he acquires "Videodrome," a graphic, violent spectacle with sexual overtones. His girlfriend Nicki Brand, drawn by its sadism, volunteers as talent but vanishes after filming. Max's unease grows; Masha, a trusted supplier, warns Videodrome may be real death onscreen. Meanwhile, eccentric professor Brian O'Blivion predicts media's dominance over reality, adding menace to Max's quest for Videodrome's producers. As he investigates Nicki's disappearance, Max uncovers unsettling truths about the broadcast, forcing him to confront its dark influence and his own role in perpetuating it.
