In near future, data smugglers tranfer and transport critic or illegal data through a wire system inside their brain for their costumers. Johnny is one of them and makes good money with it, paying his lifestyle in expensive hotels and with even more expensive whores. But this time his job is a bit too much. He has to tranfer over 300GB while his updated brain capacity is about 150GB. He decides to do the job anyway and instead deletes his childhood memories. How could he know that he is smuggeling the cure for "the black shake", a technology sickness, that could cure the whole world.
From the first second on he took the job, he is followed by a few different interest groups such as the Yakuza, the huge company Pharmacon and a robot priest who's hired by them. But somehow he makes it through with some help - but how to get the data off his brain without the security code?"Johnny Mnemonic" was released in 1995 shot after a shortstory published a few years before. It was one of the first cyber topic related movies ever and also one of the
most memorable and best. Keanu Reeves does the main character and is so much better fitting into the role than in Matrix or other movies. Also you get the feeling you watch a comic based movie after some time which makes it even better. My favorite part at the whole movie is "Jones" the former navy dolphin, half robot, half animal.Great stuff, totally catchy, massively entertaining, highly recommended. One of my personal Top10!
