Synopsis
Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro star in Limitless, a
paranoia-fuelled action thriller about an unsuccessful writer whose
life is transformed by a pill that allows him to use 100% of his
mind and become a perfect version of himself.
His enhanced abilities soon attract shadowy forces that threaten his
new life in this darkly comic and provocative film. Aspiring author
Eddie Morra (Cooper) is suffering from chronic writer's block, but
his life changes instantly when an old friend introduces him to
'Clear Pill', a revolutionary new pharmaceutical that allows him to
tap his full potential.
With every synapse crackling, Eddie can recall everything he has
ever read, seen or heard, learn any language in a day, comprehend
complex equations and beguile anyone he meets as long as he keeps
taking the untested pill.
Soon Eddie takes Wall Street by storm, parlaying a small stake into
millions. His accomplishments catch the eye of mega-mogul Carl Van
Loon (De Niro), who invites him to help broker the largest merger in
corporate history. But they also bring Eddie to the attention of
people willing to do anything to get their hands on his stash of
Clear Pill.
With his life in jeopardy and the drug's brutal side effects taking
their toll, Eddie dodges mysterious stalkers, a vicious gangster and
an intense police investigation as he attempts to hang on to his
dwindling supply long enough to outwit his enemies.
