Subscribe FreeStory Synopsis
William Hurt stars in Altered States as single-minded research scientist, Eddie Jessup, who is obsessed with discovering the mysteries of the inner motivations of man. Using a sensory deprivation chamber—and some powerful hallucinogenic drugs—he explores the altered states of consciousness experienced inside the chamber. Adapted by Paddy Chayefsky from his novel, he attached his alias “Sidney Aaron” to the movie when he became frustrated with the “alterations” to his story.
