Research scientist Eddie Jessup (William Hurt) believes other states of consciousness are as real as everyday reality. Using sensory deprivation, then adding powerful hallucinogenic drugs, he explores these altered states... and endures experiences that make madness seem a blessing.

From Paddy Chayefsky's novel, director Ken Russell guides us with a sorcerer's skill through Eddie's magical and horrific journey as Altered States gyrates with dazzling visual bravado and bracing emotional impact.
