Released in 1989, Mindfield is a thriller film directed by Jean-Claude Lord, running about 92 minutes. “The CIA tried to turn him into the Perfect Killer. And they did. Now he's after them...” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. In the long shadow of an experimental CIA mind control program, Sergeant Kellen O'Reilly begins experiencing violent flashbacks of his “treatments” at the hands of the sinister Dr. Satorius. When the body count on his latest case inexplicably begins pointing toward his own fragmented past, a romance with Satorius’ criminal prosecutor raises the stakes. O'Reilly must forge a path forward through a hall-of-mirrors conspiracy stretching from the Mafia to the highest levels of the CIA, culminating in a shocking, stadium-sized confrontation.

Who’s in it. Mindfield stars Michael Ironside as Kellen O'Reilly, Lisa Langlois as Sarah Paradis, Christopher Plummer as Doctor Satorius and Stefan Wodoslawsky as Raolo Basutti, among others.
