The Electric State "takes place in 1994, in the aftermath of a battle between humanity and artificial intelligence that ended in a devastating stalemate. The people who died were buried; the automatons who were destroyed rust away where they fell. The defeated robots have been banished to an 'exclusion zone' in the southwestern desert, while human society attempts to rebuild without the help of the mechanical beings it created,"
The Electric State stars Millie Bobby Brown as Michelle, a young woman searching for a lost brother she once believed dead. As the story begins, he seems to have tracked her down through a remote-controlled bot that looks like a life-sized tin-toy version of his favorite sci-fi hero, Kid Cosmo (an original creation for this story, although he has retro vibes). The robot can only speak in catchphrases, but he’s trying to guide her to his real-life location. Though he looks and sounds like a machine, within this apparent drone she sees the soul of a sibling she thought was gone forever.
Chris Pratt costars as Keats, a veteran of the war who became a long haul trucker, engaged in a smuggling operation with one of his former enemies—a construction machine named Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie) who’s like a Russian nesting doll, able to hop into increasingly various sized versions of himself. These two are the only ones who can help Michelle venture through hostile territory and track down the missing boy, while also solving the mystery of why he was kidnapped in the first place.
The Electric State also stars Ke Huy Quan as Dr. Amherst, Stanley Tucci as Ethan Skate, and Giancarlo Esposito as Colonel Marshall Bradbury.
The live-action cast also includes Jason Alexander (Seinfeld), Woody Norman (C'mon C'mon), and Martin Klebba (Pirates of the Caribbean). Joining Anthony Mackie as voice actors in the sci-fi movie are Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Billy Bob Thornton, and Alan Tudyk, with Woody Harrelson voicing a robotic Mr. Peanut.
