From the visionary directors of Avengers: Endgame, Anthony and Joe Russo, comes The Electric State, a retro-futuristic odyssey set against the eerie, neon-lit wastelands of an alternate ’90s America.
Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things) stars as Michelle, a scrappy orphan on a mission to reunite with her genius younger brother, Christopher. When a cartoon-inspired robot named Cosmo shows up with clues to Christopher’s whereabouts, Michelle hits the road, only to be thrust into an adventure that’s as heartwarming as it is perilous. Her journey through a desolate American West, where exiled robots wander after a failed uprising, introduces her to Keats (Chris Pratt), a reluctant smuggler with a knack for trouble, and his snarky robot sidekick Herman, voiced with razor-sharp wit by Anthony Mackie (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier).
Based on Simon Stålenhag’s acclaimed graphic novel, The Electric State combines emotional storytelling with jaw-dropping visuals, painting a world where pastel Americana meets dystopian decay. The all-star cast includes Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All At Once), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), and Stanley Tucci (The Lovely Bones), with robots brought to life by the voices of Woody Harrelson, Jenny Slate, and Alan Tudyk.
Equal parts thrilling road movie and existential meditation, The Electric State is a must-watch for fans of sci-fi epics with heart. It’s streaming now on Netflix, ready to transport you to a world of towering animatronic giants, human resilience, and one girl’s quest to uncover the truth.
