"Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has always wanted to go to Mars, one day he gets his chance with artificially implanted memories from "recall". Unfortunately, after the botched memory implant, everything starts to go wrong for Quaid. His wife and unknown bounty hunters are trying to kill him. Quaid must go to Mars to uncover the secrets of his past, and stop himself from being killed. A great action movie, full of surprises, neat gadgets, and bloody gunfights."
