English Summary:

Jacob's Ladder is a 1990 American psychological horror film directed by Adrian Lyne, produced by Alan Marshall, written by Bruce Joel Rubin, and starring Tim Robbins, Elizabeth Peña, and Danny Aiello. The film's protagonist, Jacob, is a Vietnam veteran whose experiences prior to and during the war result in strange, fragmentary visions and bizarre hallucinations that continue to haunt him. As his ordeal worsens, Jacob desperately attempts to figure out the truth.

On October 6, 1971, an American infantryman, Jacob Singer, is with the 1st Air Cavalry Division, deployed in a village in Vietnam's Mekong Delta, when his close-knit unit comes under sudden attack. As many of Jacob's comrades are killed or wounded, others exhibit abnormal behavior with some suffering catatonia, convulsions, and seizures. Jacob flees into the jungle, only to be stabbed with a bayonet by an unseen assailant.

Jacob awakens in the New York City Subway, where, after glimpsing what he believes to be a tentacle protruding from a sleeping homeless person, an inexplicably locked subway station exit results in him almost being hit by a train. The year is 1975, he works as a postal clerk, and lives in a rundown apartment in Brooklyn with his girlfriend, Jezebel. Jacob misses his old family and experiences visions of them, especially the youngest of his sons, Gabe, who had died in an accident before the war. Jacob is increasingly beset by disturbing experiences and apparitions, including glimpses of faceless vibrating figures, and narrowly escapes being run over by a pursuing car. He attempts to contact his regular doctor at the local VA hospital, but after first being told that there is no record of him ever being a patient there, Jacob is told that his doctor has died in a car explosion.

Hungarian Summary:

Egy volt vietnami veterán képtelen szabadulni emlékképeitől. Elhatalmasodó ül- dözési mániája során a valóság és belső víziói keverednek.

Valami történik Jacob Singerrel. Már évek óta állandóan visszatérő rémálmok gyötrik, melyben megjelennek emlékei a vietnámi háborúról. Most azonban, évekkel később, valami még rettenetesebb esemény veszi kezdetét az életében. Hallucinált démonok jelennek meg előtte. Jacob, az őrülettől fél, felkeresi pszichiáterét, akiről azonban kiderül, hogy nem sokkal korábban meghalt. Barátnője azzal a magyarázattal állt elő, hogy Jacob démoni látomásai valamiféle lelki problémával magyarázhatóak. Ezt a férfi egészen addig el is fogadja, amíg nem találkozik régi, háborús bajtársával, aki elmondja neki, hogy őt is hasonló hallucinációk gyötrik. Újra feléledő barátságuk azonban rövid életű. Jacob bajtársa ugyanis nem sokkal találkozásuk után szintén életét veszti...
