Set in a dystopian Los Angeles on the brink of the millennium, Kathryn Bigelow’s cult sci-fi noir follows an ex-cop dealing in illegal digital memories who uncovers a deadly conspiracy. Driven by a powerhouse performance from Angela Bassett, this visionary, high-octane thriller stands as a landmark achievement in action cinema from an Oscar-winning female auteur.
