Plot

Set in the sun-soaked heart of California, the brilliant yet bigoted Dr. Maxwell Kirshner stands at the apex of medical innovation. As the owner of the acclaimed Kirshner Transplant Institute and a leading transplant surgeon, he has pioneered a daring technique to transplant his head onto another body. With his health dwindling rapidly, he’s locked in a race against time, desperate to survive. When he recruits the highly regarded Dr. Fred Williams to assist with his groundbreaking surgery, he's shocked to discover that his new associate is black. His prejudices flare, and he attempts to revoke the contract but fails. Kirshner then manipulates his connections with the Governor, hoping to use the body of a death row convict for his audacious experiment. Enter Jack Moss, a muscular, black inmate convicted and on the brink of execution. Offered a chance at thirty more days of life, he accepts the proposal, hoping to prove his innocence during this period. Yet, the operation, performed by Dr. Philip Desmond, takes an unexpected turn. Jack gains control, breaking free from Kirshner's mansion and plunging them both into a wild escape. As Jack pairs up with his girlfriend Lila and the now-convinced-of-his-innocence Dr. Fred Williams, they embark on a mission: to remove the unwanted head of Kirshner. But the question lingers in the air like an ominous fog - how will they find another compatible body for the head of Dr. Kirshner, and will they do so before time runs out? "The Thing with Two Heads" is a thrilling cinematic rollercoaster, a blend of science fiction and social commentary that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
