The F/X shoot goes awry, making it look like Rollie is responsible for DeFranco's actual murder. As Tyler goes on the run, Detective Leo McCarthy (Dennehy) investigates the murder.The movie was followed up in 1991 with F/X 2: The Deadly Art of Illusion, in which Rollie, now retired from special effects, is asked by his girlfriend's ex-husband to help him catch a killer.
