Chimera is a 1991 science fiction miniseries directed by Lawrence Gordon Clark, adapted by Stephen Gallagher from his 1982 novel of the same name.

As Chimera it was originally a four-part series for British television shown on a Sunday night on ITV. It was later re-edited for the U.S. and retitled Monkey Boy.

The story focuses upon 'Chad' a young half boy half chimp developed by scientists as part of a top secret government operation. However Chad becomes aggressive, strong and uncontrollable, with the inability to communicate on a human level, escaping from the lab, brutally killing several nurses and scientists in the process. The hunt is on to find and capture Chad before the public encounters this strange and dangerous creation. During Chad's escape, he wrestles with his natural child tendencies after befriending some local children and trying to control his wild primal inner instincts.
