Actor George Segal in a serious against-type role is a scientist who agrees to an experimental treatment wherein a tiny computer is implanted in his head to help control violent tendencies. The computer malfunctions probably Windows-based and he becomes a psychotic killer.

The director Terrence Malick wrote to Hodges expressing how much he loved watching the film saying "I have just come from seeing The Terminal Man and want you to know what a magnificent overwhelming picture it is. You achieve moods that I've never experienced in the movies before though it's only in hope of finding them that I keep going. Your images make me understand what an image is not a pretty picture but something that should pierce one through like an arrow and speak in a language all its own." 10 x 8 inches.
