Plot Summary for Brainstorm (1983)

Michael and Karen Brace are working on a virtual reality system that sends 
sensory inputs directly into the brain. When one
of the senior workers begins to die of a heart attack and puts on the tape unit, 
things get more interesting. Michael tries to
follow her experiences after death, but is prevented by the authorities when one 
of their people goes into cardiac arrest trying
to follow him. The military take over the project to use the experiences of 
psychotics and others as training and possibly
torture aids. Pornographic experience tapes begin to appear as well. None of 
this is what they had in mind, and Michael is
convinced that he must complete the tape of his friends death.


This was Natalie Wood's last motion picture.
