Set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of the 1990s, The Electric State is a spectacular adventure from the directors of Avengers: Endgame. The film follows Michelle, an orphaned teenager navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots, who once served peacefully among humans, now live in exile following a failed uprising. Everything Michelle thinks she knows about the world is upended one night when she’s visited by Cosmo, a sweet, mysterious robot who appears to be controlled by Christopher — Michelle’s genius younger brother whom she thought was dead. Determined to find the beloved sibling she thought she had lost, Michelle sets out across the American southwest with Cosmo, and soon finds herself reluctantly joining forces with Keats, a low-rent smuggler, and his wisecracking robot sidekick, Herman. As they venture into the Exclusion Zone, a walled-off corner in the desert where robots now exist on their own, Keats and Michelle find a strange, colorful group of new animatronic allies — and begin to learn that the forces behind Christopher’s disappearance are more sinister than they ever expected.

Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes, Damsel) stars as Michelle while Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World) plays Keats. The two are joined by Academy Award winner Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everything All at Once), Jason Alexander (Seinfield), Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul, The Boys, Godfather of Harlem), Academy Award nominee Stanley Tucci, and Woody Norman. Additionally, the film features the vocal talents of Woody Harrelson (Cheers, White Men Can’t Jump, The Hunger Games franchise), Anthony Mackie (8 Mile, Notorious, Marvel Cinematic Universe), Brian Cox (Succession), Jenny Slate (Bob’s Burgers), Hank Azaria, Colman Domingo (Fear the Walking Dead, The Color Purple, Rustin), Alan Tudyk (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Death at a Funeral).

Anthony and Joe Russo directed The Electric Slide, which is based on the graphic novel by Simon Stålenhag. The screenplay was written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. The Russo brothers produced the film alongside Mike Larocca, Angela Russo-Otstot, Chris Castaldi and Patrick Newall while Anthony J. Vorhies, Joseph Micucci, and Murtaza Kathawala served as co-producers. Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Tim Connors, Nick van Dyk, Jake Aust, Geoffrey Haley, Jeffrey Ford, Simon Stålenhag, Julia Angelin, Russell Ackerman, John Schoenfelder, Anthony Muschietti, and Barbara Muschietti all took on executive producer responsibilities.
