Summary
Arnold Schwarzenegger is perfectly cast as Quaid, a 2084 construction
worker haunted by dreams of Mars in this crowd-pleasing science fiction
spectacle. Against the wishes of his sexy blonde wife (Sharon Stone),
Quaid goes to Rekall, a company that implants artificial memories,
so he can "remember" visiting the red planet that is now
being settled by human inhabitants. However, Quaid is actually an
amnesiac secret agent from Mars--or is he? Enemy agents led by a thug
named Richter (Michael Ironside) start trying to kill him before Quaid
remembers anything more. Bullets and bone-crunching mayhem follow
in large doses as Quaid heads to Mars to deal with mutants, ancient
alien races, and Cohagen (Ronny Cox), a greedy capitalist controlling
the colonists' air supply, in an effort to remember his real identity.
TOTAL RECALL is based on the story "We Can Remember It for You
Wholesale" by Philip K. Dick and was a big box-office hit, helping
to firmly establish director Paul Verhoeven as a specialist in darkly
satiric, blood-drenched genre films.
