Jacob's Ladder

Jacob Singer is a Vietnam vet still mourning the accidental death of his son and who is beset by nightmares from his last military mission. Were he and his comrades experimental subjects for a psychotic drug, or is it all in his head?

Tagline

The most frightening thing about Jacob Singer's nightmare is that he isn't dreaming.
