The Fury
When a devious plot separates CIA agent Peter Sandza from his son, Robin, the distraught father manages to see through the ruse. Taken because of his psychic abilities, Robin is being held by Ben Childress, who is studying people with supernatural powers in hopes of developing their talents as weapons. Soon Peter pairs up with Gillian, a teen who has telekinesis, to find and rescue Robin.

Gillian causes Childress's body to explode in revenge
Peter explains PSI's plan to weaponize psychic children
The film dramatically rebounds from its draggy exposition-heavy middle section to the spectacular violent finale
The Fury follows a classic De Palma arc, opening with strong action and suspense before bogging down in confusing exposition and plot machinations. However, the film redeems itself spectacularly in its final act, building to increasingly violent and memorable set pieces that culminate in one of cinema's most outrageous endings.
