Scanners
originally aired on HBO
Scanners premiered in 1981 to lukewarm reviews from critics but became one of the first films produced in Canada to successfully compete with American films at the international box office. The film's plot concerns the attempt by Darryl Revok, a renegade scanner, to wage a war against ConSec. It is particularly well known for a scene that depicts Revok psychically causing a rival scanner's head to explode.
