Plot/Synopsis

Narrated by the main character, Nick Halloway (Chevy Chase) is a devoted bachelor and businessman. After meeting (and subsequently falling for) a family friend of a business associate, Alice Monroe (Darryl Hannah), he drinks himself "silly" and is thus hungover the following morning. With a mandatory business conference breathing down his neck, Nick attends with serious reluctance. In a makeshift bid to relieve him of his pain, he decides to nap in a small lounge adjacent to the men's bathroom. Unbeknownst to him, a laboratory within the building devoted to research and experimentation in magnetism sees an experiment go haywire. Such an experiment has the consequences of turning things invisible and thus, created a widespread panic that evacuates the building. But Nick has been sleeping through the entire incident, and now finds himself completely transparent, unable to see his body nor any tangible object in the building.

Meanwhile, emergency crews have turned up at the site--as well as government officials, led by the unethical David Jenkins (Sam Neill), who makes the discovery of Nick. Convinced that the businessman has the potential to work with the CIA as the world's first invisible agent, Jenkins wants to recruit Nick as part of their covert operations, and in the process, proves he'll stop at nothing to do so. As the story progresses, Nick's romance with Alice deepens and soon both find themselves on the run from the government, as Nick now must adjust to his new life.
