Film Adaptations
The plot was loosely adapted into the 1990 film Total Recall, directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. In the film, the hero, renamed Quaid, actually travels to Mars, but the initial memory implant scene foreshadows much of what he achieves while there.
A remake, also titled Total Recall and directed by Len Wiseman, was released on August 3, 2012. The film features Colin Farrell as the hero, also named Quaid.
