Johnny Mnemonic in Black and White

Friday, October 11 - Sunday, October 13, 2024

Director Robert Longo’s preferred 2021 black and white version!

A data-courier with a secret stash of information stored in his mind must find a way to retrieve the information– or die in the process.

“Despite 25 years of dismissal and mockery, JOHNNY MNEMONIC remains a visionary forecast of the networked society. No pre-millennium Hollywood production captured the anxieties and exhaustion of living online so well, despite studio butchery that deprived audiences of writer William Gibson and director Robert Longo’s ambitious vision.” — Patrick Dahl, Screenslate
