''Honey, I Blew Up the Kid'' is a 1992 American comic science fiction film and the sequel to the 1989 film ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids''. Directed by Randal Kleiser and released by Walt Disney Pictures, the film stars Rick Moranis, Marcia Strassman, Robert Oliveri and Amy O'Neill, who reprise their roles as Wayne, Diane, Nick, and Amy Szalinski respectively, as well as newcomer Keri Russell as Mandy Park, Nick's love interest and babysitter of Adam, the Szalinskis' new two-year-old son, whose accidental exposure to Wayne's new industrial-sized growth machine causes him to gradually grow to enormous size. Made only three years after ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids'', this film is set five years after the events depicted in the previous film. The antagonist to the Szalinskis is Dr. Charles Hendrickson (John Shea), who wants the giant Adam stopped at all costs and would like to take over Wayne's invention that is now owned by the major corporation they work for, which is in turn owned by the kind Clifford Sterling (Lloyd Bridges). This film would be followed by one last sequel in 1997, this time a direct-to-video film, ''Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves''. A TV show would also follow the film in 1997, called ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids''. ==Plot== Five years after the events after the previous film, inventor Wayne Szalinski is now the head researcher at Sterling Labs in Las Vegas, working on a ray that can enlarge objects. His research is hindered by Charles Hendrickson, jealous that Wayne had been put in charge of the research department and threatens to sabotage him to take his place. It is Friday morning, Diane is cooking breakfast, Nick is practicing his guitar, Wayne is getting ready for work and Adam is in his playpen watching a small TV. Wayne's wife Diane leaves to take their daughter Amy to college, leaving him in charge of watching their 2-year old son Adam along with their fifteen-year-old son Nick; now obsessed with guitars and an unrequited crush on Adam's babysitter Mandy. Wayne works at the Sterling Laboratories where his boss, Charles Hendrickson and the other lab people are busy testing out their new machine. Wayne arrives late as the experiment has ended. At home, Wayne is cooking dinner, but the oven makes a fire and Nick extinguishes the flames using a fire extinguisher. Whilst Wayne is on the phone to Diane, he is told by Quark, that Adam is making a dash for the ice-cream truck, not realizing he is too young to be outside on his own. Wayne grabs Adam and takes him back into the home where Adam blows on the burnt roast chicken. At suppertime, Wayne, Nick and Adam are at the dinner table. Adam offers his big brother a sandwich, to which Nick walks off to his bedroom. At bedtime, Wayne is getting his baby son to sleep with Adam's favourite stuffed toy, "Big Bunny". Adam soon falls asleep after singing "Twinkle, twinkle little star". Nick tries to make a phone call to Mandy Park, but his call is disconnected when Adam pulls a wire out of a socket. On Saturday morning, Wayne decides to take Adam and Nick into the lab in order to test his enlarging machine on Big Bunny. But while they are looking over the controls and the countdown begins, Adam slips out of his stroller, gets in the way of the machine and attempts to get Big Bunny back. Adam is hit by the beam which causes him to fly away from the machine and Big Bunny ending up on the floor with his legs in the air, giggling. But then he picks himself up and returns to his stroller before he is noticed. The beam causes a power surge that blacks the facility out, and Wayne and Nick leave none the wiser. At home, Wayne cooks Adam some lunch after calling Mandy to come and look after Adam. As soon as Wayne goes, Adam looks at the microwave that starts flashing blue lightning around it. Adam grabs Big Bunny and gets closer to the microwave. It is soon discovered that electric waves cause Adam to start growing in size after a microwave oven causes him to sprout to seven feet in height. They return to the lab to try and correct this but Wayne's unauthorized use causes Hendrickson to revoke his access and ban him from the facility. Diane returns home and discovers the problem and she and Wayne leave to go to the warehouse where the original shrink ray is crated, hoping to use that to undo the mess. Meanwhile, Mandy arrives to babysit Adam and faints at the sight of him. Nick ties her up to keep her from fleeing as he explains the situation to her, meanwhile, a television Adam is watching causes him to grow to fourteen feet in height and he breaks out of the house. Mandy agrees to help Nick find his brother, while at the lab, Hendrickson discovers that Adam was hit by the ray and orders his men to find and detain Adam. They capture the giant toddler and stow him in a semi-truck en route to the labs, but power cables along the side of the highway cause him to grow even larger and he escapes. Adam then finds Nick, his brother and Mandy, the babysitter below him. So he picks them up and puts them in his front pocket of his overalls, mistaking them as new toys. Now, over 100 feet in height, Adam sees the lights of The Strip in the distance and makes his way toward them, thinking it to be a playground. When Nick and Mandy try to stop him, Adam mistakes them and the car they are driving as toys, and picks them up, putting them in his pocket. The giant baby incites terror for everyone who sees him, and soon Adam is surrounded by journalists, authorities and Hendrickson and his men. Adam rips the guitar of a Hard Rock Cafe off of its foundations and begins to play with it, imitating Nick. Hendrickson has his men fire tranquilizers at Adam from a helicopter, but the first shot misses and the second one shoots at the guitar electrocuting Adam, making him cry. The public sees that he is an innocent baby not a menace and are now sympathetic toward him as Wayne and Diane as well as Wayne's boss Mr. Sterling arrive with the shrink ray to return him to normal. Wayne says that it requires thirteen seconds for the shrink ray to establish a lock on Adam and he needs to hold still. Seeing that at their size, Adam would not see them as his parents, Diane orders Wayne to use the ray to enlarge her. Hendrickson orders his men to fire again at Adam, but a giant sized Diane intervenes, making the helicopter back off. Reunited with her son, Diane has him hold still as though they are going to take a picture, while Wayne targets, then successfully shrinks them both back to normal size. Hendrickson tries to have Wayne arrested for causing the chaos, having meant no harm to Adam by trying to shoot him with the tranquilizers, but Diane punches Charles knocking him unconscious and Sterling sees Wayne and Diane as heroes and concerned parents, and fires Hendrickson instead for his methods. But Wayne realizes he accidentally shrunk Nick and Mandy which were in Adam's front pocket of his overalls. Finding that Nick and Mandy had fallen out of Adam's pocket after his shrinking, Wayne discovers Nick and Mandy alone, having been shrunk in size. Nick waves Wayne away as he puts his arm around Mandy, and the two share a kiss. Nick sees Wayne wink at him for landing a girl and Nick smiles back at Wayne. Wayne decides to give Nick and Mandy a few minutes of privacy before returning them back to normal size. It seems that life is back to normal, though they discover, to Adam's delight, that his Big Bunny is still at its enormous size. As Wayne and Diane kiss, the credits roll. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Honey, I Blew Up the Kid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
