Overdrawn at the Memory Bank is a science fiction movie directed
by Douglas Williams. It was released in 1985.
Synopsis
Raul Julia plays Aram Fingal, a very intelligent computer programmer
and a very bored man in the employ of Novicorp, a mega-corporation
that exists somewhere in the future. When caught watching "Casablanca"
at his desk, Fingal is required to undergo rehabilitation therapy
called "doppling." Doppled patients find their minds transferred
into the bodies of animals for a new outlook on life (and for
a number of amusing nature documentary sequences narrated by Julia).
However, Fingal's body is misplaced and he is transferred into
a computer while the body is located. With the help of Appolonia
James, a medical technician played by Linda Griffiths, Fingal
manages to reprogram himself into a simulation of Casablanca and
eventually gains access to Novicorp's financial computers, bringing
the company to its knees. But Fingal's real problem is getting
back into his body before his memory patterns are erased.
