PAYCHECK (PG)
Based on the short
story by Philip K. Dick, "Paycheck" is about world famous genius
Michael Jennings (Ben Affleck), who does specialized projects for
high-tech corporations. Once a job is complete, his memory is
erased so as not to divulge any company secrets.
Highly paid for his work, Jennings expects to earn $4.4 billion for
his latest 5-year project, but upon completion of the job, instead
of a big paycheck, he is given an envelope full of random objects
and told that he has agreed to forget all payment. With his memory
erased per usual, Jennings has no defense, until he discovers that
the objects are clues to his past.
Now, with the help of Rachel (Uma Thurman), the woman he has worked
with and loved for the last three years, Jennings is in a race
against time to put the pieces of his past together before the
people he once worked for have him killed.
