This sci-fi action adventure movie is a remake of the original 1990 film starring Arnold Swartzenegger.

The new action packed film stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale & Jessica Biel. And unlike the original 1990 film, there is no trip to Mars and contains strong political influences.

Euroamerica, formerly North America and the European Union, and New Shanghai, formerly China and South East Asia, fight for political power in the far dystopian future in the year 2084.

Also in the new Total Recall, a simple factory worker suffering from violent nightmares begins to suspect that he's a spy whose memory and personality were erased and replaced – though he is unaware which side of the fight he's on and how important his lost memories will be in its outcome.

What matters to him the most is that he must team up with a young female freedom fighter in order for both of them to change the political system in their own country, Euroamerica, which is currently controlled by the ruthless Euroamerican President Vilos Cohaagen and his government that rules with extreme austerity.
