Adrian Lyne Director

previously directed Fatal Attraction

Jacob's Ladder is a psychological thriller starring Tim Robbins as Jacob, a Vietnam War Veteran who finds himself having increasingly bizarre hallucinations and must search for answers as to why he became that way. The film's name is a Biblical reference.

Quote: Louis

So the way he sees it; if you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But, if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels...freeing you... from the earth.
