Finally it was offered to Donald Pleasence who accepted the role mostly because his daughter liked Carpenter’s soundtrack for Assault on Precinct 13.</span></b></span></div>

The more he learns, the more layers emerge—increasingly violent and bizarre hallucinations and mind control, which lead to a technology that threatens to alter reality.</span></b></span></div>
