I'm Your Man (1992 film)

I'm Your Man is a 1992 short film designed to demonstrate Loews Theatres' interactive cinema system. It served as the debut project for Interfilm, the interactive cinema venture founded by Bob Bejan. Viewers could influence the action by using joysticks mounted in their seats to choose among three options at six predetermined moments.

The story opens with a scientist named Professor Bob explaining the voting process and introducing the three main characters. After this setup, the audience can freely "channel-surf" between characters' perspectives by voting, with the film switching to whichever character gains a majority vote. The plot follows Leslie Campbell, head of a New York City architecture firm, who has been framed for embezzlement by her corrupt business partner, Richard Hewitt. To prove her innocence, she plans to exchange incriminating evidence with an FBI agent at a party in an office building.

As Leslie prepares to leave, the agent, Laurence, calls to change their meeting time and tells her the password is "I'm Your Man." Unknown to Leslie, Laurence is actually a double agent working for Richard, who listens silently on speakerphone in his chauffeured car. While Leslie walks through New York to the party, Richard kills Laurence and uses the information from the call to set an ambush. At the party entrance, Leslie passes Jack Beaner, a socially awkward businessman attending solely to meet women. They share an elevator to the party, with Richard following. From this point, the audience chooses which character to follow, with votes occurring at set intervals.

Inside, Jack realizes he has misunderstood the party's nature due to bad advice from a friend. He decides to try his luck with partygoers before leaving in embarrassment. The audience can choose whether he approaches Leslie directly or tries other women first. Either way, he eventually speaks the password while flirting, leading Leslie to believe he is Laurence. If the audience follows Leslie, she can choose to approach Jack or a man dressed as a stereotypical secret agent, but she inevitably meets Jack. After their encounter, Leslie takes Jack to a hallway or bedroom to hand over the evidence, confusing him. Just as she realizes her mistake, Richard ambushes them. After failing to bribe Leslie, Richard opens fire.
