Miami Golem follows the standard 1980s genre conventions, emphasizing science fiction and action clichés over social complexity. The plot centers around a male reporter investigating a corporate conspiracy involving biotechnology. The narrative leans heavily on traditional motifs such as the 'mad scientist' and 'corporate greed.' This focus on individual ability to act and plot-driven conflict results in a story that lacks significant social or cultural depth. Overall, the film adheres to the conventional casting and storytelling methods of its era, offering limited diversity or disruption.

Official Synopsis
A Miami TV reporter is sent to a local university to do a story on a professor who is cloning a cell from DNA found inside a meteorite. Soon after the reporter leaves, a gunman kills everyone in the professor's lab and steals the cell for a wealthy businessman. When the reporter learns that he is targeted for assassination as well, he enlists the help of two scientists to discover who is behind the crimes, why they stole the cell, and whether or not the cell should be allowed to continue living.
