A successful computer-game designer, finds that his latest product has been infected by a virus...

Nirvana stars Christopher Lambert as Jimi, a games programmer for the giant Okosama Starr Corporation ... he`s expected to deliver one game a year at Christmas time ... but three days before Christmas Jimi is experiencing creator`s block with his latest game Nirvana ... his mind keeps going back to Lisa, the girl he loved who left him a year ago, and one of the characters he`s created - Solo (Diego Abatantuono) - has realised he`s not real and begs Jimi to delete him. Jimi`s search for Lisa and for a solution to Solo`s dilemma takes him on a cyber road journey that is surreal ...Nirvana is an hallucinatory experience - it`s hard keeping up with all the characters and with the experiences created in this gigantic computer game of a film. There`s not a lot of fun here, although there is occasional humour with Solo but Christopher Lambert`s Jimi is a pretty depressed person. You get the feeling that despite the attempts at humour, Salvatores approached Nirvana with a seriousness that deflates a lot of enthusiasm you might develop.
