Alex Furlong (Estevez) è un giovane pilota che si prepara a correre il gran premio decisivo del campionato 1991. E' deciso a vincere, e progetta già il dopo corsa: matrimonio e viaggio di nozze con la sua bella Julie (Russo), che trepida ai box. Ma uno spaventoso incidente lo attende in pista, e quando riprende conoscenza in una enorme ambulanza Alex si trova circondato da una folla di strani medici che manovrano misteriose e preoccupanti apparecchiature. Un improvviso attacco al convoglio che lo trasporta consente allo sconcertato giovane di fuggire e di guardarsi attorno: è il 2009, e lui è un "freejack", un corpo prelevato dal passato, al momento della morte, per ospitare qualche riccone che può permettersi il costosissimo trasferimento di personalità in un essere giovane e sano attraverso il quale continuare a vivere. Ritrovata Julie, ormai splendida quarantenne con una invidiabile posizione ai vertici della McCandless Corp., Alex stenta a convincerla di essere rimasto padrone del proprio corpo. Sempre inseguito dalle squadre di ricerca di Vacendak (Jagger) Alex scopre che l'uomo che l'ha fatto prelevare dal passato è lo stesso McCandless (Hopkins), deceduto nell'attesa, ma la cui personalità - conservata artificialmente in vita - trama ancora per impadronirsi di lui. Molto liberamente tratta dal romanzo "Immortality Inc.", di Robert Sheckley (più volte pubblicato in Italia con vari titoli, a cominciare da quell' "Anonima Aldilà" che la mitica Galaxy propose in quattro puntate nel 1958-59), questa pellicola non ha raccolto il successo sperato, malgrado il notevole impegno della produzione. La storia è originale, e tiene malgrado qualche veniale incongruenza. Le ambientazioni sono ricche e curate ben sopra la media. Di tutto rispetto il cast, che oltre al grande Hopkins, schiera l'affascinante Rene Russo e il famoso Mick Jagger dei Rolling Stones. Solo il troppo giovanile Estevez appare inadeguato nel ruolo - peraltro fondamentale - del protagonista. Da ricordare anche la bellicosa suora interpretata da Amanda Plummer, figlia di Christopher, la breve apparizione di John Shea, il Luthor televisivo del serial "Lois&Clark" e la meravigliosa Duesemberg d'epoca a bordo della quale Alex e Julie si allontanano alla fine del film.

Several times during the film a character holds a double barreled shotgun and a pump sound effect is heard. Double barreled shotguns do not have pumps. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Alex is fleeing from Vacendak right after Julie Redlun first encounters Alex in the year 2009, Alex rams a car chasing him and then turns sharply to throw a random bad guy from the hood. As he makes the turn, the camera shows him shifting using a manual transmission in the center console and engaging the clutch, but when he throws the car back into gear it shows a shot of an vehicle with an automatic transmission with the shifter on the side of the steering column. <br>------------------------<br><br>During the chase scene and after he goes under the trailer, Alex's vehicle changes from a full-sized Chevy truck to a smaller S10 truck. <br>------------------------<br><br>When the 2 motorcycles start to chase Alex, both of the motorbike starts as Honda 750 VFR and, when on crash, they are suddenly Kawasaki 500 Ninja. <br>------------------------<br><br>Before Alex is 'freejacked' his fire suit does not have 'Champion' spark plugs patches on it. After he is 'freejacked' they appear on his suit. The meeting with the Champion rep' could've taken place on a practice or qualifying day. There is nothing to confirm whether Champion are new or existing sponsors and the lack of a patch on the overalls could be because they're practice/qualifying ones. Also, if Champion were new sponsors and - somehow - Brad still managed to close the deal, it doesn't take long to sew on a patch. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Julie is driving the red armored personnel carrier, exterior shots have her in the right seat. Interior shots have her sitting in the left seat. <br>------------------------<br><br>In the warehouse Alex drops his weapon after he gets disarmed by a soldier and raises both his hands. When he escapes 3 seconds later, he is using his pistol but wasn't seen bending over picking it up off the ground. <br>------------------------<br><br>The locker that Alex knocks over when being chased in the building is not there a moment later. <br>------------------------<br><br>The position of the dead man's head changes when it's looked by Alex or by Vacendak. <br>------------------------<br><br>Both Alex and Julie have completely different hairstyles between the time just before Alex goes into the sponsors' tent with Brad, and the time of the actual race. Alex goes from a flatter hairstyle to an obviously moussed or gelled one, and Julie goes from a long ponytail with bangs to a shorter, curlier style with no bangs (more resembling the style she has later in the movie). <br>------------------------<br><br>When Alex escapes his "freejack"-ing, just after his visit to Julie's old apartment, the "Welcome to New-York" digital billboard shows Thursday, November 23rd, 2009. Nov. 23, 2009 is a Monday. <br>------------------------<br><br>On their way down in the elevator after leaving Michelette's office, Alex pulls the clip from his pistol and says "One shot left". During normal use, a semi-automatic pistol with one round left in the magazine will have TWO total shots remaining, including the round already in the chamber. If Alex had only one shot left the pistol magazine should have been empty. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Alex is escaping by car from Julies apartment, a car is turned over when it collides with a "tram". In the background, you can see the ramp. <br>------------------------<br><br>Before Alex crashes the truck (and just as he's jumping from the truck into the river, it is clear that he's not really driving, it was all shot against a green screen. Some of the giveaways to this are:<br><br>1) There is no wind blowing Alex's hair<br><br>2) The lighting changes from the action shot, to the over the shoulder shot of Alex.<br><br>3) There are no reflections of the passing bridge structures and cables. <br>------------------------<br><br>
