Johnny Mnemonic

1995 · 1h 37m · Science Fiction, Action, Adventure

IMDb 5.6 Metacritic 36 RT 19%

Skip it unless you're a completist for '90s sci-fi kitsch—this Keanu Reeves vehicle is a janky, dated mess that mistakes convoluted plotting for sophistication. The premise has potential, but the execution is clunky enough to make even forgiving fans of retro cyberpunk cringe.

Plot

In a dystopian 2021, Johnny is a data trafficker who has an implant that allows him to securely store data too sensitive for regular computer networks. On one delivery run, he accepts a package that not only exceeds the implant's safety limits—and will kill him if the data is not removed in time—but also contains information far more important and valuable than he had ever imagined. On a race against time, he must avoid the assassins sent to kill him and remove the data before it, too, ends his life.

Director: Robert Longo
