影片是著名動作影星施瓦辛格主演,1993年也是其最受歡迎的時期。影片應景地描寫了一個小孩兒非常喜歡施瓦辛格的電影,經常悄悄前往作為朋友的老電影放映員的後台觀看放映的電影,一天得到了一張神秘的電影票,被奇幻地帶進了其觀看的施瓦辛格電影,和片中主角一起經歷了電影劇情的種種,又將主角帶到現實,互相經歷對方的世界後,小孩親身救護了自己的眼中主角,圓了自己一直的夙願。 影片彷彿是為了那個施瓦辛格所走紅的時期量身定製,也是為了那個時期所有同樣幻想的觀眾特別是青少年所拍,雖未必有多大場景和特效,但題材新穎特別,即使直到現在也未見有同樣題材的佳片。曾經認為如果片中小孩由著名童星麥考利·卡爾金來出演會更好,可能因主演始終是施瓦辛格為了不與其搶戲所想,但這樣的格局會更大,同時再提升整體背景劇情,可以出更有景深的影片。
