In Bruce Wagner's television miniseries, "Wild Palms," white Avantis with flashing red lights attached to the roofs, pass by in the background as "security vehicles." Harry Wyckoff (James Belushi) accepts a job as president of a massive global TV company. He is confronted with a radical technology called "The New Reality" that projects 3 dimensional TV images into living rooms all around the world. Harry rises to the top of the company with his career, but once there he is caught in a web of intrigues, betrayal and murder. Wild Palms is an exotic mix of virtual reality, mind control, religio-political conspiracy, psychotropic drugs, and media manipulation. Executive producer Oliver Stone offered a '60s soundtrack, retro clothing, and stylish art direction. Japanese techno pop composer Ryuichi Sakamoto composed the soundtrack. Wild Palms is lurid, paranoid, and too unconventional for some TV viewers. Fans will honor it as an underated classic and critics will deride it as '90s kitsch.
