A young psychic (Dennis Quaid) on the run from himself is recruited by a government agency experimenting with the use of the dream-sharing technology and is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of the U.S. president.
According to author Roger Zelazny, the film developed from an initial outline that he wrote in 1981, based in part upon his novella "He Who Shapes" and novel The Dream Master. He was not involved in the project after 20th Century Fox bought his outline. Because he did not write the film treatment or the script, his name does not appear in the credits.
This really ought to be a bigger film today (2017), but I don't know that it has a very large cult following. Such a great concept, it would have perfectly called for sequels or perhaps an ongoing television series.
