But when the procedure accidentally unlocks flashes of his own past, he begins to realise that his life is a charade. Hunted by forces desperate to kill him, he hooks up with rebel fighter, Melina (Jessica Biel), in a frantic, action-packed race to discover just what, if anything, he can believe in. Please note Total Recall contains flashing images and strobing.
