About this release

Directed by John Woo and based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, this futuristic thriller stars Ben Affleck as Michael Jennings, a brilliant computer engineer hired for top-secret corporate projects. After completing each high-stakes assignment, Jennings' short-term memory is systematically erased so he cannot leak trade secrets. Emerging from his latest three-year contract that promised an eight-figure payout, Jennings is shocked to find he voluntarily forfeited all his money. With no memory of his missing years, he must use a mysterious envelope filled with everyday items to piece together his past before his former employers eliminate him.

Michael Jennings is a genius who's hired – and paid handsomely – by high-tech firms to work on highly sensitive projects, after which his short-term memory is erased so he's incapable of breaching security. But at the end of a three-year job, he's told he isn't getting a paycheck and instead receives a mysterious envelope. In it are clues he must piece together to find out why he wasn't paid – and why he's now in hot water.
