As part of a fertility research project, a male scientist agrees to carry a pregnancy in his own body. This film identifies men with their feminine side as Arnold Schwarzenneger and Danny Devito attempt to care for and raise the baby as a mother would her own child. This re-enforces ideologies that make up the 'New Man' theory, in which men are more sensitive and caring, while women are tougher.

Male dominance and masculinity is apparent in this film with the power of the men in jail being emphasised, while the women adopt a very different role in which they're represented as premisucuous at times and as sex objects.
