Description of this Total Recal Poster
Total Recall is a 1990 American science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven, with a screenplay by Ronald Shusett, Dan O'Bannon and Gary Goldman. The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rachel Ticotin, Sharon Stone, Ronny Cox and Michael Ironside. Based on the 1966 short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" by Philip K. Dick, Total Recall tells the story of Douglas Quaid (Schwarzenegger), a construction worker who is implanted with memories of a fantasy adventure on March. He then discovers that this adventure takes place in reality, while the agents of a shadowy organization try to prevent him from recovering the memories of his past as a Martian secret agent aiming to put an end to the tyrannical regime of the dictator Martian Vilos Cohaagen (Cox).
Shusett purchased the rights to Dick's short story in 1974 and developed a screenplay with O'Bannon. Although considered promising, the project's ambitious scale kept it in development hell at multiple studios for sixteen years, with forty versions of the script, seven different directors, and numerous actors playing Quaid. . Total Recall finally entered the early stages of filming in 1987 under the De Laurentiis Entertainment Group, shortly before its bankruptcy. Schwarzenegger, who had long been interested in the project but had been passed over as unsuitable for the lead role, convinced Carolco Pictures to purchase the rights and develop the film with him as the star. With an estimated budget of between $48 million and $80 million (making it one of the most expensive films of the era), filming took place on vast sets at Estudios Churubusco in Mexico over six months. The cast and crew suffered numerous injuries and illnesses during filming.
Total Recall was expected to be one of the most popular films of the year. Upon release, the film grossed approximately $261.4 million worldwide, making it the fifth highest-grossing film of the year. Critical reception was mixed, with critics praising the themes of identity and questioning reality, but criticizing the content as vulgar and violent. The practical special effects were well received, earning the film an Academy Award, and Jerry Goldsmith's music was hailed as one of his best works.
Since its release, Total Recall has been praised for its ambiguous ending which begs the question of whether Quaid's adventures are real or fantasy, and it has also been analyzed for themes of authoritarianism and colonialism. Retrospective reviews have called it one of Schwarzenegger's best films and placed it among the best science fiction films ever made. In addition to comic books and video games, Total Recall was adapted in 1999 into the television series Total Recall 2070. An early attempt at a sequel, based on Dick's The Minority Report, became the independent film Minority Report in 2002, and a 2012 remake, also titled Total Recall, failed to replicate the success of the original.
