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. Though the film bears only a passing resemblance to the
Philip K. Dick short story it was based on ("
We Can Remember It For You Wholesale"), the movie is an entertaining, if very violent, ride.
