Help identifying a sci-fi film please...

Rich Goodman (Admin) posted this on Thursday, 5th May 2011, 13:56

A relative has asked me for help, and I can`t think what this film is, so thought I`d throw it out there for everyone...

It was on TV a few years ago and the plot is a little something like this:-

It was about some people who had written a computer program that created a virtual world. They could go into the virtual world (and have a bit of fun). But it ended up that in fact they were actually in a virtual world themselves.

Anyone got any ideas?

T`was indeed the Thirteenth Floor. Starring Craig Bierko (who played Lister in the short lived US version of Red Dwarf). It`s biggest downfall was that it was released to be in direct competition with The matrix, so of course, it never stood a chance

Which is a shame, as it`s a bloody decent flick (ending was a bit obvious tho)

Aw, where`s Rich gone? I wanted his confirmation so I could do a little victory dance.

(Not a lot happens round here...)
