“TOTAL RECALL”
Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel star in this action thriller about a man who is double-crossed by the corrupt operators of a high-tech fantasy vacation.
Welcome to Rekalld, the company that can turn your fantasies into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife he loves (Beckinsale), the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life — real memories of life as a superspy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid finds himself hunted by the police. He teams up with a rebel fighter (Biel) who is also on the run. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love and his true fate.
