Description
They stole his mind, now he wants it back.
In Paul Verhoeven’s wild sci-fi action movie Total Recall, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a 21st-century construction worker who discovers that his entire memory of the past derives from a memory chip implanted in his brain. Schwarzenegger learns that he’s actually a secret agent who had become a threat to the government, so those in power planted the chip and invented a domestic lifestyle for him. Once he has realized his true identity, he travels to Mars to piece together the rest of his identity, as well as to find the man responsible for his implanted memory.
Verhoeven has created a fast, furious action film with Total Recall, filled with impressive stunts and (literally) eye-popping visuals.
“One of the most complex and visually interesting science fiction movies in a long time.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“A wickedly violent, action-packed old school piece of warped, twist-filled sci-fi and Schwarzenegger cheese. You’ll wish you had three hands to hold this one.” – IGN DVD
“It’s a blockbuster from another era, when a big idea, rather than a pair of 3D goggles, gave the film its extra dimension.” – Observer
