Private
James Reese (Christopher Walken) is a misfit G.I.
stationed in Western Europe whose violent temper has landed him in
the stockade more than once; even his girlfriend asks him to seek
psychiatric help. Unexpectedly, Reese is driven to a secluded
hospital and is assigned to a room with Miles (Ronny Cox),
a young American suffering from terminal cancer who also suffers
from bouts of aggressive, violent behavior. Slowly, Reese learns the
truth: The Army has been using men with anti-social personality
disorders as guinea pigs in brain-control research. After one
outburst, Miles is treated and becomes a docile, mechanically
gratified vegetable. Reese realizes with horror that he may be the
next to have his mind "snatched." (from the back of The Mind Snatchers
VHS.)
