Overview

In a future where most humans have moved underground to escape the pollution, one of the few pleasures left is a kind of narcotic in the form of chips which can be plugged directly into the brain. Lori, a female body guard steals a case of such chips and flees underground Los Angeles with Danner, a pleasure android so that they can smuggle the chips to New York. In pursuit is Plughead, a dangerous criminal so named because of the many sockets and ports which decorate his scalp so that he can test and use the chips that he is after.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A neon-soaked, high-concept cyberpunk chase film where a bodyguard and an android flee through dystopian underground Los Angeles with a fortune in mind-altering brain chips, pursued by a grotesque criminal whose body has become a living interface. It's visceral sci-fi action filtered through late-80s pulp sensibilities.
