Brian De Palma returns to the mind-blowing potential of telekinesis in the follow-up to his 1976
horror hit
Carrie. While vacationing with his psychic son,
Robin (
Andrew Stevens), and close associate
Childress (
John Cassavetes), government agent
Peter Sandza (
Kirk Douglas) survives a terrorist attack, only to discover that it was staged by
Childress so he could kidnap
Robin for his own nefarious purposes. With the assistance of another psychic (
William Finley) and
Hester (
Carrie Snodgress), an employee at the Paragon Institute for Psychic Research,
Peter discovers a telekinetic Chicago high-school girl named
Gillian (
Amy Irving), who may be able to help him find
Robin. Even though they have never met,
Gillian can see
Robin's memories and experiences telepathically, and she knows that he is in trouble. But
Childress knows all about
Gillian, too, and he is not about to let
Peter's paternal quest get in the way of his plans for harnessing their psychic power.
