Plot
In 2084, Douglas Quaid is a mild-mannered construction worker on Earth who dreams of exploring the human colonies of Mars. He opts to visit "Rekall", a company that specializes in implanting false memories of a virtual trip to any location. Quaid pays for a Mars experience, including aspects of being a secret agent and discovering alien artifacts. When Rekall attempts to implant the memories, they find he already appears have undergone a previous memory replacement procedure. Believing himself to be a secret agent whose cover has just been blown, Quaid attacks the medical staff until he is put to sleep. They quickly restore his memory and send him home.
Quaid arrives and suddenly finds his former friends and his wife, Lori, are out to kill him. He is able to subdue Lori and learns that his life prior to the past two months are all false memories, and that she and his friends were there to keep track of him. Their marriage has also been false, as she is really the girlfriend of Richter, the man that has led the attacks on Quaid. Quaid escapes, pursued by Richter, and eventually encounters a man that claims to be a former friend and gives him a briefcase. A tool inside allows Quaid to remove a tracking device implanted in his skull, throwing Richter off track. The briefcase also contains of video of himself; however, this version calls himself Hauser, revealing that he used to work for Mars administrator Vilos Cohaagen, but went undercover and implanted the Quaid personality to cover his tracks. The video of Hauser insists Quaid travel to Mars and deliver the information stored in his mind to the authorities to bring down Cohaagen.
Quaid arrives at the Mars colony and avoids capture by Richter and Cohaagen's men. He discovers that, as Hauser, he has been here before, and reconnects with Melina, lady of the night in the redlight area of Venusville, where poor radiation shielding has created a number of mutants, but after hearing his story, refuses to have anything to do with him. Returning to his hotel room, he is confronted by Lori and Dr. Edgemar, the leading researcher from Rekall. Dr. Edgemar claims that everything Quaid has experienced since leaving Rekall has been part of the false memories that have gone wrong, and that by taking a pill, they can restore his mind to normal. Just as he is able to take it, he kills Dr. Edgemar after seeing him sweating, and spits out the pill. He is forced to run from Lori and several of Cohaagen's soldiers; Melina arrives, having realized Quaid's story is true and helps him to escape. Quaid also kills Lori in the process and had considered having a divorce. As they flee, she explains that one of the mutants, Kuato, may have the ability to extract Hauser's information from Quaid. Along with a taxi driver named Benny, the three escape from Richter and make their way to Kuato; in revenge for aiding in their escape, Cohaagen blocks Venusville and shuts down its ventilation system, slowly causing the denizens to die from lack of oxygen. Quaid, Melina, and Benny are found by Kuato's forces, and Quaid is taken privately to see the mutant - a small humanoid form conjoined to another man. The mutant helps Quaid identify a giant alien artifact device that has been recently uncovered, and implores him to start it up. As Quaid learns this, they are attacked by Cohaagen's forces, and Benny reveals himself to be a mole having led them to Kuato. Kuato is killed while Quaid and Melina are captured.
Quaid is taken to Cohaagen, who reveals another video by Hauser that appears to suggest that Hauser went through the false memory process in order to lead Cohaagen to Kuato. Cohaagen orders that Hauser's memories be replaced in a Rekall device as well as wiping Melina's mind, but the two manage to escape. They make their way to the site of the alien artifact, defeating Benny, Richter, and the rest of his men in the process. As they enter the control room of the machine, Cohaagen arrives and attempts to stop Quaid, but accidentally ruptures a wall exposed to the void of Mars' atmosphere. Cohaagen is dragged out in the vacuum and dies from asphyxiation and decompression, while Quaid is able to start the machine just before they are dragged out. The device is revealed to generate massive amounts of oxygen, and Quaid and Melina are saved from death as the waves of breathable gases sweep across the planet. As the citizens of Venusville and the colony find themselves safe and free of Cohaagen's rule, Quaid and Melina kiss, Quaid still wondering if this is still all part of his Rekall memories.
