Based on "The Electric State" by Simon Stalenhag, the film is a re-imagined low tech apocalyptic mid 90s vision of the American West, with stunning visual artwork. Set in an alternative future, it tells the story of a teenage girl (Millie Bobby Brown) who realizes that a strange but sweet robot who comes to her has actually been sent by her missing brother. She and the robot set out to find the brother in an imaginative world of humans mixing with all manner of robots, uncovering a grand conspiracy in the process.
