Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins), a Vietnam War veteran plagued with troubling hallucinations and traumatic flashbacks, struggles to maintain his sanity as his terrible past invades his waking life. As girlfriend Jezzie (Elizabeth Peña) and chiropractor friend Louis (Danny Aiello) try to help him find balance, Jacob only descends further into madness and despair.

This restoration was completed by ROUNDABOUT – USA from the original negative scanned and restored in 4K. The color grading and restoration was supervised by Adrian Lyne. This project was brought to you by STUDIOCANAL and supervised by Delphine Roussel and Jean-Pierre Boiget.

“Adrian Lyne’s giddying, unsettling direction conjures up moments of horrifying hallucinogenic power.” (Time Out)

“For hours and days after you’ve seen it, you’ll still be putting it together in your head. While all of it is gripping, it doesn’t come together until the final scene, which is jolting, transcendent, unexpected yet inevitable.” (Seattle Times)

“As long as the movie refuses to commit itself, it is a truly creepy, nerve-jangling experience.” (Chicago Tribune)

“It is this constant slippage into uncertainty that makes ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ unique. Lyne’s focus on the sensual experiences of his character helps blur that line between dream and reality…” (The Ringer)
