    1980 made-for-TV PBS show. It is a little slow and lacking in the special effects department, but the story is so strong, it is worth the effort to watch.

    A corrupt scientist dangerously exploits a young man's ability to change reality via his dreams.
    This original made-for PBS version is hard to find, but worth the effort.

    Wow. Faithful to Ursula K. Le Guin's novel, and both are mind-blowing.

    The fx aren't great but the story rocks. Best aliens ever. This movie deserves a real remake & not that piece of crap James Caan version that totally misses the point.
