Total Recall

“They stole his mind. Now, he wants it back.”

In a colonized Mars of 2084, Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a construction worker on Earth who books a memory implant of a Martian adventure. When he arrives for the procedure, his past life surfaces: he is Hauser, a secret agent with a mission on Mars. Verhoeven stages the paranoia in kinetic bursts, each action beat arriving before you can settle into what you just saw.
