Trancers (1984)
Handling
Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson) is a trooper in Angel Cuty, circa 2247, mopping up the last of the disciples of Martin Whistler. Whistler uses his psychic power to 'trance' those with weak minds and force them to obey his every desire. Whistler had been thought to be dead, but he's alive and well and living in the 20th century. Whistler plans to control the city and that's where Jack Deth fits in. Jack is sent back in time by inhabiting the body of his ancestor. The only problem is that Whistler's ancestor is a police detective, and he has already begun tracing people. With the help of Leena (Helen Hunt), a strong minded punk rock girl, Deth must find and protect Hap Ashby, a former baseball pitcher now living on skid row, and face Whistler in a final confrontation.
