Freejack
Freejack is a 1992 science fiction action film directed by Geoff Murphy, starring Emilio Estevez, Mick Jagger, Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins. Upon its release in the United States, the film received mostly negative reviews. The screenplay was written by Ronald Shusett and based very loosely on the 1959 novel Immortality, Inc., by Robert Sheckley. Aside from the most basic elements the journey of a modern man into a future where everything is for sale, and the presence of a spiritual switchboard in which souls are suspended the cyberpunk plot bears little resemblance in tone or content to Sheckleys story, where discovery of scientific proof of the afterlife altered societys views of the sanctity of life.
