This film is based on the previous Manchurian Candidate film from 1962, but it is a more modern version of it. The difference in this film is that they are under control of the Manchurian Global and Benjamin Marco is the one who is having the weird dreams about the brainwashing that took place after the war in Kuwait. Raymond Shaw was given the medal of honor for rescuing all but two members of his army unit. Benjamin Marco persists that these dreams show what actually happened but everyone just thinks he's a psycho. At the end he kills Raymond Shaw and his mother, he then returns to the place in Kuwait where they were brainwashed to re-track the memories he had as the truth comes out in the end of what happened.
This film is also different in that there is more editing throughout the film to demonstrate the horror that they experienced in Kuwait. This film is also very fast pacing to show how much of an impact the dreams have on Marco, it also makes the film more tense, showing that it is a suspense thriller.
