4D Man is really Jekyll & Hyde meets the Invisible Man with an awful bombastic jazz musical score.
Dr Scott Nelson (Robert Lansing) is a dour scientist working to develop an impregnable metal called cargonite. He has developed some side effects from his experiments and his boss does not appreciate the work he has done.
Tony Nelson (James Congdon) his younger brother also a scientist has lost another job trying to conduct experiments with an electronic amplifier that allows one solid object go through another.
When Tony goes to see his brother, Scott's girlfriend Linda (Lee Meriwether) ends up falling for the more playful and energetic brother. The trouble is, Scott's last girlfriend ended up running off with Tony as well.
Knowing that Linda and Tony are having an affair, in a fit of anger, Scott uses the amplifier and finds that he can pass his hands through solid metal. However the more he uses this power, he finds that he prematurely ages. Only by sucking the life force form another person can Scott get back his youth.
Tony know finds himself trying to stop his older brother as the bodies pile up.
4D Man would had been an enjoyable hokum if the musical score was not so darn irritating. This is a B movie that takes time to build up, yet it does not take long for Linda to fall in love with Tony. Merriweather is sultry but Congdon is a poor actor, their romance is hackneyed.
Lansing does better as the hard working scientist who does not get the recognition he deserves or the love from Linda he desires. This twists his mind as he goes increasingly deranged.
The special effects range from poor to passable, this is a mildly entertaining guff.
