This December, the visionary Russo Brothers (Avengers: Endgame, The Gray Man) bring Simon Stålenhag’s acclaimed graphic novel to life in The Electric State, a groundbreaking sci-fi epic that redefines the genre. Starring Emmy-winning actress Millie Bobby Brown, Academy Award® nominee Chris Pratt, and two-time Golden Globe® winner Stanley Tucci, this highly anticipated film takes audiences on a breathtaking journey through a hauntingly beautiful, dystopian America.
Set in a world where humanity’s technological ambitions have crumbled into ruin, The Electric State follows Michelle (Brown), a resourceful teenager searching for her missing brother. Accompanied by a towering, rusted robot with a mysterious past, Michelle ventures across a desolate landscape littered with the remnants of a once-thriving civilization. Along the way, she uncovers the secrets of a world where advanced AI and holographic technology have spiraled out of control, leaving behind a society on the brink of collapse.
Chris Pratt stars as Marshall, a rogue scavenger with his own agenda, who reluctantly joins Michelle on her perilous journey. Stanley Tucci delivers a chilling performance as Dr. Calvin, a shadowy figure tied to the origins of the AI revolution. The film also features an ensemble cast of rising stars, including Sadie Sink (Stranger Things), Jacob Tremblay (Room), and Mackenzie Davis (Station Eleven), who bring depth and humanity to this sprawling, post-apocalyptic tale.
Directed by the Russo Brothers, The Electric State combines their signature action-packed storytelling with the evocative, retro-futuristic visuals of Stålenhag’s artwork. The film’s screenplay, penned by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely (Avengers: Infinity War, Captain America: Civil War), masterfully weaves together themes of loss, hope, and the unintended consequences of technological progress.
The world of The Electric State is brought to life by an extraordinary creative team, including Oscar®-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins (1917, Blade Runner 2049), production designer Rick Heinrichs (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), and composer Steve Jablonsky (Transformers), whose haunting score underscores the film’s emotional core.
Produced by AGBO Studios and Universal Pictures, The Electric State is a cinematic event that promises to captivate audiences with its stunning visuals, gripping narrative, and unforgettable performances. Executive producers include Simon Stålenhag, Joe Roth, and Jeffrey Kirschenbaum.
Prepare to embark on a journey like no other when The Electric State arrives in theaters worldwide this December.
