"Brainstorm", released in 1965, is a late "film noir" whose male protagonist at first prevents the suicide of his employer's wife, falls in love with her, and is later driven to crime and insanity.

It was made as part of a two-picture contract that star Jeffrey Hunter had with Warner Bros. that also included the series "Temple Houston" for Warner Bros. Television. William Conrad had also directed Hunter in the pilot episode of that series. Hunter and Anne Francis had previously acted together in the movie "Dreamboat" (1952), and in an episode of "Temple Houston".

For the 2002 "Sight & Sound" poll of the top ten films of all time, critic Jack Stevenson included "Brainstorm" in his list.
