4D Man

The 4-D Man is Robert Lansing, who through a sped-up atomic fusion experiment is possessed with the ability to walk through solid matter. Motivated by greed and jealousy, Lansing uses his powers for his own selfish gain. But there's a catch: his "4-D" prowess is causing him to age rapidly and to deteriorate physically. After a powerhouse opening, 4-D Man settles into a conventional "there are some things man is not meant to know" mode; it also closes with that wearisome cliched "The End?" title. Otherwise, the film is a laudable effort to do a lot with a limited special-effects budget.
