Netflix: The Electric State is a spectacular adventure from the directors of Avengers: Endgame set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of the 1990s. Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes, Damsel) stars as Michelle, an orphaned teenager navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots, who once served peacefully among humans, now live in exile following a failed uprising.
Michelle’s world is turned upside down when Cosmo, a mysterious robot controlled by her presumed-dead brother, Christopher, appears. With Cosmo and smuggler Keats (Chris Pratt), she embarks on a journey to find her brother, accompanied by Keats’ robot sidekick, Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie).
As they journey into the Exclusion Zone—a remote desert area where robots live freely—Michelle and Keats encounter a quirky, colorful group of animatronic allies. Along the way, they uncover dark, unexpected truths about the forces behind Christopher’s disappearance.
The Electric State is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and stars Brown, Pratt, Academy Award winner Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Giancarlo Esposito, Academy Award nominee Stanley Tucci, and Woody Norman. Mackie, Woody Harrelson, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, and Alan Tudyk lend their talents as the voices of the robots. The film is based on the graphic novel by Simon Stålenhag with a screenplay written by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.
