a5c7b9f00b A young psychic on the run from himself is recruited by a government agency experimenting with the use of the dream-sharing technology and is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of the U.S. president. A government funded project looks into using psychics to enter people&#39;s dreams, with some mechanical help. When a subject dies in his sleep from a heart attack Alex Gardner becomes suspicious that another of the psychics is killing people in the dreams somehow and that is causing them to die in real life. He must find a way to stop the abuse of the power to enter dreams. the scene where the husband walks into the red lensed bedroom and finds his wife horse riding his bro got massacred for the DVD, unfortunately. i remember this scene explicitly. you can&#39;t mess with a 10 year old&#39;s sexual fantasy or recollection.<br/><br/>the DVD , for whatever technical or political reason, does not bare the original beta and VHS American versions released in the eighties clear vision of a &quot;totally pg-13&quot; movie.<br/><br/>the F word, boobies and heart ripping out of chest and severed snake heads and nuclear holocaust. man, today pg-13 is so mild, it&#39;s ridiculous.<br/><br/>two words: kelly le friggin&#39; brock in &quot;woman in red&quot;.<br/><br/>genital nudity. never seen again by these eyes in a pg-13.<br/><br/>crazy eighties. what brass one&#39;s they had! Dennis Quaid plays Alex Gardner, a young man with psychic abilities who is on the run from gangsters who want him to work for them.(He can pick the winners from horse races). Alex is saved by the timely intervention by his former teacher(Max Von Sydow) who wants his help with the secret government project he had once been involved with, in order to help both a young boy traumatized by nightmares, and also the U.S. president(played by Eddie Albert) who is having horrible nightmares about WWIII, and so wants a treaty with the Russians, which forces in the government(led by Christopher Plummer) want to prevent…<br/><br/>Exciting and highly entertaining film is well acted by its stars, and has imaginative and scary visuals(including the Snake man) that work quite well. Villains may be one-dimensional, but film still works, and has a good score and satisfying ending.
