Captain Jean Farell
In the heat of an American desert, Captain Jean Farrell arrives at a secret military installation, run by the enigmatic Doctor Harlan Jessup. Jessup is conducting 'Operation Sandman', an experiment involving a group of soldiers who have volunteered to be injected with 'the Juice', a drug which enables them to function without sleep. The team of soldiers, led by gruff and abusive 'Gunny' Riggins continually takes part in Virtual Reality scenarios whereby they face terrorists, kidnappers, guerrillas and a plethora of other situations that demand split-second timing, and undying obedience in the face of danger.
April Lee the Bookstore Clerk
Фильм состоит из пяти коротких глав, каждая из которых названа именем ее героя. Пять людей, пять судеб переплетаются в сладком дыме грез, образуя ту ткань, из которой и состоит наша жизнь. Это рассеянный писатель Пол, потерявший жену. Он часто заходит за сигарами к Огги, имеющему странную привычку фотографировать угол Третьей улицы и Седьмой авеню. Рассеянного романиста спасает из-под колес семнадцатилетний парень, убежавший из дома, так как за ним гонится банда, чьи деньги он прикарманил. И так далее, и так далее…

Luna
Two African-Americans and two Puerto-Ricans (though one pretends to be Italian) go out on the town on a Friday night. They will be forced to get to know each other — and even worse, learn to like each other as friends.
Chloe
An ambitious trio of inner-city high school grads tries to hit the big time by turning a run-down country hotel into a rock & roll resort with around-the-clock music and live entertainment. Standing in their way are fearful townsfolk, unscrupulous businessmen and the tax collector, all threatening to bring the curtain down on the teens' aspirations. But this is one threesome who refuses to give up on their lifelong goal without a fight — and a song.
