Ep. 07-29: Brainstorm (1983)
BRAINSTORM (1983) follows scientists Michael Brace (Christopher Walken) and Lillian Reynolds (Louise Fletcher), who develop a revolutionary device that records and plays back human experiences. As they push its boundaries, the technology’s potential becomes both exhilarating and dangerous. When corporate greed and government interference threaten its misuse, Michael faces moral and personal dilemmas. Blending cutting-edge sci-fi with emotional depth, the film explores memory, mortality, and the consequences of tampering with human consciousness.
