Mindfield
A psychological time bomb is triggered in Kellen O’Reilly as he begins to experience disturbing “flashbacks” of his unresolved and turbulent past. Meanwhile, Dr. Satorius, head of a psychiatric clinic just outside Montreal, is taken to court by former patients for conducting unorthodox drug-testing and brainwashing experiments 25 years earlier.
The much-publicized trial draws O’Reilly into an ever-widening web of intrigue involving the CIA, the FBI, the Mafia, and the police force itself.
As events in his past become linked to secret government experiments, O’Reilly finds himself running for his life.
The film, Mindfield, writtten by William Deverell, starred Christopher Plummer and Michael Ironside.
