The Guyver (released in Europe and South America as Mutronics) is a 1991 American superhero comedy film made in conjunction with Shochiku Films, loosely based on the Japanese manga series of the same name by Yoshiki Takaya. The film tells of a young man, Sean Barker, who discovers an alien artifact called "The Unit" which changes Barker into an alien-hybrid super soldier called "The Guyver". Barker learns that a major corporation called "Chronos" is after the Guyver unit and soon discovers that the people behind Chronos are not human after all. The film was met with a mixed reaction from critics and fans. A sequel followed in 1994 called Guyver: Dark Hero.

Dr. Tetsu Segawa, a researcher for the corporation Chronos, is on the run after having stolen an alien device known as The Guyver unit from Chronos. He is caught by Lisker, the right hand man of the president of Chronos, and his thugs. Lisker transforms into a Zoanoid and he kills Segawa, who was also a Zoanoid. He returns the metal briefcase to Chronos' president, Fulton Balcus, only to discover that it contains an old toaster, Segawa having hid the unit in a pile of trash before he was caught. At a dojo, Max Reed, a CIA agent, notifies Dr. Segawa's daughter, Mizuki, about the incident, while her boyfriend, Sean Barker, struggles to pay attention in class. Sean follows Reed and Mizuki to the crime scene; there, he stumbles upon the Guyver unit stored, and stuffs it in his backpack. On his way home, his scooter breaks down in the middle of a back alley, and a gang corners him. While Sean is being attacked by the gang, the Guyver activates and fuses with him. Sean, in his newly armoured form, dispatches the gang members, but is shocked by his physical appearance, until the armor quickly disappears into two scars on the back of his neck.
