Plot
At the end of the 21st century, Earth is devastated by chemical
warfare. What little habitable land remains is divided into
two territories, the United Federation of Britain (UFB) and the
Colony ( Australia). Many residents of the Colony travel to the
UFB to work in factories via "the Fall", a gravity elevator
running through the Earth's core. A Resistance operating in
the UFB seeks to improve life in the Colony, which the UFB
views as a terrorist movement.
Colony citizen Douglas Quaid has been having dreams of
being a secret agent, aided by an unknown woman. Tired of
his factory job building police robots with friend Harry, he
visits Rekall, a virtual entertainment company that implants
artificial memories. Among the choices Rekall salesman Bob
McClane offers Quaid are the memories of a secret agent. Just
as Quaid is starting to be implanted, McClane discovers that
he already has real memories of being a covert operative. As
McClane starts to question Quaid about the memories, UFB
police officers burst in, killing the Rekall crews and attempt to
arrest Quaid. Quaid instinctively reacts and kills the officers
before escaping. Upon returning home his wife Lori attempts
to kill him, revealing that she is an undercover UFB agent who
has been monitoring him for the past six weeks. After Quaid
escapes, Charles Hammond, a "friend" Quaid does not
recognize, contacts him and directs him to a safe-deposit box.
Quaid finds a recorded message from his former self with the
address of a UFB apartment.

While being pursued by Lori and other human and robot
police, Quaid meets Melina, the woman from his dreams. At
the apartment Quaid finds another recording, revealing that
his name is actually Carl Hauser, an agent working for UFB
Chancellor Vilos Cohaagen. After defecting to the Resistance,
Hauser was captured by the UFB and implanted with false
memories. The recording reveals that Cohaagen will use
robots to invade the Colony so the UFB will have more living
space. Hauser, however, has seen a "kill code" that would
disable the robots. The code can be recovered from his
memory by Resistance leader Matthias. Melina reveals that
she was Hauser's lover before Hauser was captured; she
proves that they knew each other by showing that they have
matching scars. The police surround the apartment building
and Harry appears. He tries to convince Quaid that he is still in
a Rekall-induced dream and that killing Melina is the only
way out. Quaid is conflicted, but notices a tear on Melina's
cheek and shoots Harry instead. Lori pursues the pair inside
the building's lifts, but fails to capture them.
Quaid and Melina meet with Matthias. While Matthias
searches Quaid's memories, Lori and Cohaagen storm the
Resistance base. Cohaagen reveals that Hauser was in fact
working for him without Quaid even knowing it due to the
memory alteration, using the kill code as a trap. Cohaagen
kills Matthias and arranges to restore Hauser's memory before
leaving with Melina as a prisoner. As the officers are about to
inject Quaid, Hammond (revealed to be one of the police
officers involved in the raid) sacrifices himself to help Quaid
escape.
Cohaagen begins his invasion of the Colony, loading the Fall
with his army of robots. Quaid sneaks on board, setting timed
explosives throughout the ship while searching for Melina.
After freeing her, they climb atop the Fall as it arrives at the
Colony. As they fight the soldiers and Cohaagen, Quaid's
explosives detonate. Quaid and Melina jump off before the
ship plummets back into the tunnel and explodes
underground, killing Cohaagen and destroying his army and
The Fall itself.
Waking up in an ambulance, Quaid is greeted by Melina.
When he notices that she is missing her scar, he realizes that
she is Lori using a holographic disguise; they fight and Lori is
killed. Quaid finds the real Melina outside the ambulance and
they embrace.
(In the extended director's cut, Quaid finds a bandage on the
inside of his elbow. He then remembers that a peace sign
stamp had been placed there while he was at Rekall but is
not there anymore. This hints that everything might have
been an implanted Rekall memory Quaid has been
experiencing since sitting in the chair at Rekall. This ending is
briefly suggested in the regular cut when, at the end, Quaid
sees a Rekall sign in the distance and momentarily wonders
about his recent experiences.)
