Dark City
John Murdoch wakes in a hotel bathtub with no memory, a dead woman in the next room, and detectives closing in for murders he can't remember committing.

Johnny Mnemonic
2021: half the world suffers from a technology-induced plague, and the most valuable data travels not on networks — too easily hacked — but inside the heads of mnemonic couriers. Johnny is one of them, and his latest job stuffs his implanted memory far beyond safe capacity with data the Yakuza and a pharmaceutical giant will kill for. He has roughly a day to make delivery before the payload literally destroys his brain — the same brain he emptied of his own childhood to make room for cargo.

Max Renn, president of a sleazy Toronto UHF station always hunting for harder content, stumbles onto a pirate broadcast called Videodrome: plotless scenes of torture that appear to be real.

The Day the Earth Stood Still
An alien visitor named Klaatu arrives on Earth inside a glowing sphere, escorted by an enormous, silent robotic guardian called Gort — this time carrying an ultimatum about humanity's environmental destruction rather than its nuclear weapons.

Contact
Radio astronomer Dr. Ellie Arroway has spent her career searching for proof of extraterrestrial intelligence against the skepticism of the scientific establishment and her own government funders.

GemBrazil
In a retro-futuristic, totalitarian bureaucracy choking on paperwork and ductwork, low-level government clerk Sam Lowry spends his days processing forms and his nights escaping into elaborate flying dreams. When a literal typing error — a squashed fly jamming a printer, turning 'Tuttle' into 'Buttle' — sends the wrong man to his death, Sam's attempt to correct the paperwork pulls him into a nightmarish collision between his fantasies and a state that treats a clerical mistake as more dangerous than the person it actually kills.

Westworld
At Delos, a luxury resort populated entirely by lifelike androids, wealthy guests live out fantasies in perfectly recreated Western, medieval and Roman worlds — free to gunfight, romance, or duel robotic hosts programmed to lose every time.
