                                "TOTAL RECALL"



        FADE IN:



1       EXT. DESERT - DAY



All we can see, filling the entire frame is a flame-orange

sky...almost like the sky from the burning of Atlanta in

"Gone with the Wind".
SUPERIMPOSE:  Presenter credit.
PAN DOWN lower and lower until we see the terrain below...

the desert.  There is no vegetation whatever, just sand and

odd-shaped rock formations.  The air is filled with red dust,

which alternately obscures and then reveals the image.

CAMERA MOVES FORWARD optically - enlarging the film grain in

the process.
        SLOW DISOLVE



        OPENING CREDITS BEGIN.
