The Russo brothers' latest movie, The Electric State, isn't just an emotional journey about one girl's mission to find her brother. It's also a timely exploration of fears surrounding technology, set in an alternate version of our world where sentient robots attempted to rise up after mistreatment from humanity but were ultimately defeated.
In the aftermath of this war, humankind largely lives plugged into virtual reality headsets called neurocasters, created by Stanley Tucci's tech mogul Ethan Skate, while robots are exiled to their own society in a desolate wasteland.
