In order to save a brilliant scientist, Jan Benes, a diverse team is shrunk in a nuclear submarine and injected into Benes’ body in hopes remove a blood clot in his brain. The crew has a finite period of time to fix the clot and get out before the miniaturization wears off.

From the minds of classic sci-fi director, Richard Fleisher (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, 1954), and classic sci-fi writer, Jerome Bixby (The Twilight Zone, Star Trek), comes this iconic science-fiction thriller, seminal in influence to subgenre masters like Robin Cook and Michael Chrichton. Join us as we discuss it’s fantastic cast, script, and (radical-at-the-time) Academy Award-winning special effects. Listen, as Johnny Has the Keys shrinks small enough to invade the mysteries of human anatomy and battle to preserve life from what threats lurk there.
