Total Recall

Total Recall

1990

They stole his mind, and now he has to get it back. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Douglas Quaid, a mild-mannered construction worker -- or so he thinks. A virtual trip to Mars toggles a brain implant that reveals a strange affinity for the red planet. But once he gets there, his true identity -- an intelligence agent -- may get him killed before he can unravel the mystery.

How would you know if someone stole your mind?
