A genetically engineered man (Arnold Schwarzenegger) discovers he has a long-lost twin brother (Danny DeVito) – a short, streetwise hustler. Together, they set out to find their mother and uncover the truth about their origin.
The success of the film lies entirely in the stark contrast between the two leads. The physical comedy, driven by their height difference and personalities, has aged remarkably well.
Julius Benedict (Schwarzenegger) is the recipient of all the "good" genes—he is brilliant, athletic, and physically flawless. Vincent Benedict (DeVito), on the other hand, is the unintended byproduct, inheriting the traits the scientists didn't want. Decades later, the naive Julius leaves his island paradise to find his long-lost brother in Los Angeles, leading to a fish-out-of-water comedy that balances slapstick with genuine heart.
