    "Dr. Martin" (Bill Pullman) is a renowned scientist who usually works in a room full of brains preserved in gelatine! Then he is tasked with actually applying some of his theorem and is to evaluate "Halsey" (Bud Cort). Now he used to be a very important mathematician before he became a bit of a paranoid schizophrenic. "Martin" concludes that it might be medically possible to carry out some surgery and restore his memories. This is manna from heaven for his ambitious corporate pal "Reston" (Bill Paxton) and their unscrupulous boss "Vance" (George Kennedy) so his plan is green-lit, and surprising...
