TOTAL RECALL 35TH ANNIVERSARY

JUNE 26

Director Paul Verhoeven's seminal sci-fi action film Total Recall turns 35, and is now restored in glorious atmosphere-inducing 4k! To help you recall how kick-ass this Schwarzenegger starring blockbuster is, this big-screen presentationfeatures a beer tasting by Reject's Beer in the lobby pre-film.

Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a bored construction worker in the year 2084 who dreams of visiting the colonized Mars. He visits "Rekall," a company that plants false memories into people's brains, in order to experience the thrill of Mars without having to travel there. But something goes wrong during the procedure; Quaid discovers that his entire life is actually a false memory and that the people who implanted it in his head now want him dead.

Total Recall is now considered one of the best Sci Fi films ever made. Based off a novel by prolific genre author Philip K Dick (Blade Runner), imbued with Verhoeven's signature over-the-top style and a propulsive Jerry Goldsmith score, it perfectly leverages the irony of former Mr. Olympus (Schwarzenegger) as an every-man hero in an augmented future where the fantastic has become mundane. Despite some technology on display now seeming very 80's anachronistic (in the best way), other tech feels prophetic (self-driving cars, interactive virtual reality etc). Rightfully hailed as a satire of late-stage capitalism and the all-too-familiar technological invasiveness of modern society, Total Recall is high-concept science fiction dressed up as an amazingly camp action movie... "Now get your ass to Mars!"

"You are what you do. A man is defined by his actions, not his memory." -Quato, leader of the Martian rebels.
