"ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE VISIONARY FILMS OF ALL TIMES."
- Alex Grey
A postal employee, Jacob Singer, veteran of the Vietnam war, has a series of intensely frightening paranoid hallucinations and begins to suspect that he and his Vietnam friends were victims of a misbegotten Army experiment. The boundaries between dream and reality erode as visions of demons, heaven, and hell invade Jacob's life and lead him toward an unforgettably haunting climax.
Join Bruce Joel Rubin, the Oscar winning screenplay author of Jacob's Ladder, for a discussion of his original story that seamlessly integrates multiple dimensions of reality, making this one of the most intense visionary films of all times.
