Project X

1968 · 97 min

A trippy, talky Cold War-era sci-fi spy yarn that feels like a hazy, paranoid dream you have to piece together.

Tagline: It happened in this universe a long time ahead, the year 2118...
Overview: A spy is brought back from cryogenic suspension after being almost killed in a plane crash returning from a mission to learn about a deadly new weapon being developed in the East. But the vital memories are being suppressed, so the authorities use ultra-advanced technologies to try to uncover the secret.
How it feels: Tense, eerie, cynical and campy. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Memory, identity, conspiracy, deception
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
