Dark City
They built the city to see what makes us tick. Last night, one of us went off.
Directed by Alex Proyas
Produced by New Line Cinema, Mystery Clock Cinema
A paranoid, visually gothic sci-fi noir about identity and manipulation in an eternal night, where reality itself is weaponized against the hunted.
A man struggles with memories of his past, including a wife he cannot remember, in a nightmarish world with no sun and run by beings with telekinetic powers who seek the souls of humans.
