Netflix recently dropped the highly anticipated trailer for The Electric State, a gripping sci-fi film set in a post-apocalyptic world where humans and robots are at war. The trailer showcases Millie Bobby Brown as Michelle, a teenager on a mission to find her missing younger brother, Christopher, whom she believed was lost during the chaotic rebellion between robots and humans.
Plot Overview
Set in a dystopian future, The Electric State explores a society where sentient robots, once living harmoniously with humans, are now exiled after a failed uprising. Michelle, an orphaned teen, uncovers a shocking revelation when she encounters Cosmo, a peculiar robot that appears to be linked to her missing brother. Determined to find him, Michelle teams up with Chris Pratt’s character, a wanderer who aids her in navigating the dangerous, robot-dominated world.
The official logline highlights Michelle’s emotional journey, describing her struggle to cope with the loss of her family in the wake of the rebellion. “We all lost something after the rebellion,” Michelle states in the trailer. “Robots lost their freedom. Humans lost connection with each other. And I lost everyone I loved — or so I thought.”
Cast and Production
The film, directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, is based on Simon Stalenhag’s 2018 novel of the same name. Written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the movie features a talented cast, including Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Woody Norman, Giancarlo Esposito, and Stanley Tucci.
Chris Pratt recently spoke about his deep emotional connection to the screenplay during an appearance at New York Comic Con.

He also revealed that reading the script moved him to tears, describing the film as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “I didn’t want to miss the chance to be a part of something this special.”
