Scanners II: The New Order

Scanners II: The New Order is a Canadian science fiction action film set in a world where certain people, known as scanners, possess telepathic abilities that let them read minds, control behaviour and even kill. A corrupt police commander named John Forrester recruits these scanners to help him seize control of the city. He brings in David Kellum, a young man who does not yet understand the power he carries, and who initially goes along with Forrester's plans. When David learns what Forrester is really after, he turns against him and goes on the run. Forrester sends another scanner, Peter Drak, after him, while David finds he has a sister, Alice, who shares his abilities. Together they try to stop Forrester from building his own scanner force.
