Lionsgate Home Entertainment
With the Colin Farrell remake set to hit theaters this weekend, Arnold Schwarzenegger's most popular movie next to The Terminator and Predator is back on Blu-ray with an all-new "mind-bending edition," restored with a director-approved transfer and new interview with helmer Paul Verhoeven. Based on Philip K. Dick's 1966 short story We Can Remember It for You Wholesale, Total Recall casts Ah-nuld as Doug Quaid, a construction worker who has recurring dreams of being on the human colonies of Mars. Unable to afford the actual trip, he decides to have false memories implanted into his brain to simulate an exciting vacation in which he's a secret agent – only to learn the hard way that everything he's been dreaming about is true. Oh, and the pyramids of Mars hold an ancient secret that men are willing to kill to protect.
