Based on the popular 1960's Tv show.
The movie starts out in the year 2012 with Nine-year-old British schoolboy Joe McClaine who is the adopted son
of Professor Ian "Mac" McClaine, a renowned computer expert. On the outside, the McClaines are an ordinary
father-and-son pair who live in an antiquated Elizabethan-style cottage overlooking Culver Bay, Dorset,
tended by their housekeeper, Mrs Harris. However, residing in a secret underground laboratory is Mac's latest
invention, the "BIG RAT" (Brain Impulse Galvanoscope Record And Transfer), a machine capable of recording
knowledge and experience from leading experts in various fields and transferring it to another human brain.
The central aspect of the design is the "Rat Trap", a rotating, spherical cage in which a subject is seated
during the transfer of the expert "brain pattern".
Sam Loover, a secret agent for the World Intelligence Network, persuades Mac, his friend, to dedicate
the BIG RAT to WIN's pursuit of world peace by permitting Joe to assume such knowledge and experience
and become a WIN agent. After the requisite skill is transferred, and provided that Joe is wearing
special spectacles containing hidden electrodes storing the expertise, he is able to execute such missions
as operating fighter aircraft, blasting off into space and performing advanced
neurosurgery, all the while appearing to be an innocent schoolboy to the enemies of WIN. Since no one
would usually suspect a child of espionage, Joe is WIN's "Most Special Agent". Reporting to the
commander-in-chief of WIN's London Headquarters, Shane Weston, he is also provided with a special briefcase,
which on superficial inspection appears to be a simple school case but in fact conceals an adapted handgun
and WIN transceiver.
Joe must prevent an Eastern nuclear device from being launched into Earth orbit.
Joe 90 features gadgets, rescue operations, secret organisations, and criminal and terrorist
threats to the safety of the world.
The Joe 90 universe still sees the Earth's landmasses politically divided into Western and Eastern regions.
There is a plot twist inwhich Joe struggles to remove a crippled nuclear submarine from the ocean floor when
it strays into the territorial waters of a hostile Latin American police state.
The movie ends on a number of Joe's missions are recalled as flashbacks when the protagonist reaches the age of ten.
