Total Recall
What is real?
Directed by Len Wiseman
Produced by Total Recall, Original Film
A high-octane sci-fi action thriller built on paranoia and identity confusion, where relentless chase sequences and gunplay drive a plot about the unreliability of memory and perception.
Factory worker Doug Quaid takes a virtual mind-trip vacation with the Rekall company, opting for implanted memories of being a spy. When the procedure goes wrong, Quaid becomes a wanted man by the police and joins forces with a rebel fighter to stop the evil Chancellor Cohaagen.
