Movies - Freejack


Freejack is a 1992
science fiction film directed by Geoff Murphy
. It stars Emilio Estevez
, Mick Jagger
, Rene Russo
, Jonathan Banks
, and Anthony Hopkins
. The film was R-rated in the United States and received disappointing reviews despite an acclaimed cast and the novel concept. The story was adapted from a 1959 novel titled "Immortality, Inc." by Robert Sheckley. However, other than the very basic premise, the movie bears little resemblance to the book.

In the 21st century, time travel technology allows people to be snatched from the past just prior to the time of their certain demise. The live bodies are then sold to the highest bidder as a host for his/her consciousness, as they are considered already dead and thus have no rights.

Alex Furlong, played by Emilio Estevez, is a formula car racer who was killed during a car race. However his body is brought 18 years into the future in 2009, where he manages to escape prior to a mind transfer into his body. Victor Vacendak, played by Mick Jagger
, is a security officer for the McCandless Corporation who tries to recapture Furlong. Alex's former fiancée Julie, played by Rene Russo
, is now an executive at McCandless.

The remainder of the film concerns Alex's survival in the world of the future, and his attempt to revive his relationship with Julie. Ian McCandless, Julie's boss, played by Anthony Hopkins
, is revealed to be the dying man trying to steal Furlong's body.
