doctor (Patrick McGoohan) and enlisted in a programme of "scanners"--telepaths
who also can will heads to explode--he becomes involved in a
battle against nefarious forces. A number of critics consider
this to be Cronenberg's first great film, and indeed it has a

thrust him into a terrible struggle. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
