SYNOPSIS

In   the   face   of   a   modern   urban   life   devoid of anything but an
uninterrupted     parade     of      dehumanizing     compromise     and
disappointment,  Stanley  (Gene  Wilder)  tenuously guards his fragile
individuality in between gulps of booze. The only solace he  enjoys  is
commiseration  with his self-consciously sophisticated neighbor John (Zero Mostel), and  his unspoken adoration of a  warmly  sympathetic
co-worker  Daisy  (70s  cult  object  Karen  Black).  But  as  a surreal
comic apocalypse begins to transform, one by one,  everyone  into  a
rhinoceros,  the  non-conformism  that seemed like Stanley's downfall may be his only salvation.
