Total Recall (2012) is a science fiction action film directed by Len Wiseman and a remake of the 1990 film of the same name, which was based on Philip K. Dick’s short story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.” The 2012 version stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, and Jessica Biel.

The film is set in a dystopian future where Earth is divided into two territories: the United Federation of Britain and the Colony. The story follows Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), a factory worker who is dissatisfied with his mundane life and undergoes a procedure to implant false memories of being a secret agent. However, the procedure goes awry, and Quaid discovers that he might actually be involved in a real conspiracy.

As he delves into the truth about his identity and past, Quaid must navigate a world of deception and danger while being pursued by law enforcement. Total Recall is known for its high-octane action sequences, futuristic visual design, and its exploration of themes related to identity and memory. The film received mixed reviews, with praise for its visual effects and action but criticism for its plot and comparison to the original.
