This poster art for the classic 1990 sci-fi film Total Recall was created by artist Rich Davis for Hero Complex Gallery and it’s called “Get Your Ass To Mars.” If you’re a fan of the film, this is a print that you might want to consider adding to your collection.
The first time I saw this movie I was at a drive-in movie theater. I can’t remember the movie we were originally supposed to see because my cousins and I snuck off to watch Total Recall, and damn! That was a wild film to watch as a kid!
Total Recall was directed by Paul Verhoeven and the story is set in the near future where memory implants allow people to experience fantastical adventures without leaving home.
The story follows Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a construction worker haunted by recurring dreams of Mars. Yearning for more excitement, he visits Rekall Inc. to receive a memory implant of a Martian vacation.
However, the procedure uncovers suppressed memories, revealing that Quaid’s life is a fabrication. He is, in fact, a secret agent named Hauser who had his memories erased.
As Quaid’s true identity resurfaces, he becomes embroiled in a rebellion against the tyrannical Martian governor, Vilos Cohaagen.
Quaid’s quest for the truth leads him on a perilous journey to Mars, where he teams up with Melina, a member of the resistance fighting for Martian independence.
If you want to buy this print the limited edition 24×36 version will cost you $75.
