Synopsis:
The most frightening thing about Jacob Singer's nightmare is that he isn't dreaming...A surreal psychological thriller/horror movie. The film was perceived by many, including its screenwriter and co-producer Bruce Joel Rubin as a loose, modern interpretation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The title Jacob's Ladder refers to the Biblical story and the Christian mystic Meister Eckhart is also quoted during one key moment in the film.

Jacob Singer's life is falling apart. His world is fraying at the edges and he's starting to question his own sanity. Terrifying, demonic hallucinations haunt his everyday life. Around every corner a mysterious shadow lurks. Visions of his dead son appear before him at any given opportunity. Why does he feel like he's constantly being followed? Why does he feel as if no one can be trusted? Are his fears real or just delusions of a warped, traumatised mind? His army buddies from Vietnam don't seem to think so. They've been suffering the same symptons and now it's time for answers. Jacob is told that in Vietnam he and his fellow soldiers were experimented on without their knowledge with a drug called "the Ladder". But the truth is far stranger than any of them could have possibly imagined.

Starring Tim Robbins, Jacob's Ladder is a visually surreal and nightmarish thriller.

Special features: Additional clips with director's commentary, trailer, and Jacob's Ladder: Building Jacob's Ladder.
