Island City was a Sci-Fi movie pilot that was aired by Prime Time Entertainment Network in 1994. Mutations resulting from genetic experimentation in the 21st century create chaos. Island City was produced by Lee Rich Productions in association with Lorimar Television.[1]
The movie touched on many themes including genetic experimentation, virtual reality, and state controlled marriages. Citizens of the city would wear a colored crystal on their neck and could only mate with other citizens of the same color. The color of the crystal was based on the individual's genetic makeup. Outside the domed city were humans that devolved into a more primitive state due to a genetic engineering disaster in the 21st century. To keep citizens entertained in the city there were virtual reality goggles they could wear that simulated environments and sensations to the user.
