...Simon eventually unwinds from his identity crisis to perceive the truth about himself, and escapes with his girlfriend from the Institute after the Pentagon has come with orders to kill him. Along the way, he meets a tribe who worship the Sacred Box, and hold services in which the reader preaches from TV Guide--a comic touch that succeeds in theory, but not in practice, and reminds us that this is, after all, Brickman's first movie...
