Brainstorm

“The door to the mind is open.”

Michael Brace (Christopher Walken) wants to prove that what one person feels can be recorded and handed to someone else, and with his partner Lillian Reynolds (Louise Fletcher) he builds a device that does it. Douglas Trumbull films the tape as it plays back, stretching the picture wide whenever a borrowed experience takes over. One of those recordings holds a death, and Michael cannot stop thinking about it.
