Brainstorm

Starring: Christopher Walken, Natalie Wood, Louise Fletcher, et al.

Product Description

Imagine a machine that downloads one person's thoughts and sensations to another individual. Any person. Any experience. Now imagine how that breakthrough technology might be corrupted in the wrong hands. Christopher Walken, Natalie Wood (in her final film) and Louise Fletcher play virtual reality researchers determined to keep their high-tech invention from lowdown tampering in Brainstorm. Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost, Jacob's Ladder) provides the tantalizing what if? story, and Douglas Trumbull (inventor of the first simulation theater and a special-effects trailblazer on 2001: A Space Odyssey) produces and directs this dazzling adventure.

Customer Reviews

Natalie Wood’s last full-length movie

From the earliest sci-fi movies to the latest graphic novel, people have been speculating on transferring thoughts and experiences. You may recall “Total Recall” (1990) or a recent independent “Sleep Dealer” (2008) where, with minimum connections, you are lost and possibly endangered by others’ thoughts, dead or alive. This is a good presentation of the standard who-done-it mystery mixed with a tad of sci-fi. The characters and story make the film. Researchers Lillian Reynolds (Louise Fletcher) and Michael Brace (Christopher Walken) built a thought recorder. Now, everyone, government, perverts, lost loves, industrialists, etc., wants the device for different purposes. Soon, someone will be dead. Guess how they searched for who did it and why.
