Haven't you ever wanted to have any superpower – if only for five minutes? That's exactly what the people of New Orleans can do in "Project Power" thanks to a miracle drug that was secretly circulated as part of a field study. The problem:

As the trailer for the film already shows, the different abilities bring with them a thunderstorm of special effects, which would probably also be quite good at the cinema.
