The Electric State is a 2025 American science fiction adventure film directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt. Set in a retro-futuristic version of the late 1990s American West, the story follows a young woman's desperate cross-country search for her missing brother, guided by a small, oddly expressive robot.
What is The Electric State about?
Michelle, a teenage orphan living on the margins of society, discovers a contraband robot that seems to carry messages from her younger brother, Christopher — a boy she was told had died years earlier. Convinced he is still alive somewhere beyond the fortified drone exclusion zones controlled by megacorporations, she sets out across a strange, broken America. Her only allies are Keats, a world-weary smuggler navigating the fringes of a society restructured around neural-interface technology, and his sardonic robotic companion Herman. Together they move through a landscape littered with decommissioned war machines and neon ghost towns, trying to reach Christopher before the authorities — and worse — close in.
Cast & crew
Millie Bobby Brown leads as Michelle, bringing the same fierce determination she has shown in earlier genre work. Chris Pratt plays Keats with a loose, roguish energy. Woody Harrelson voices Herman the robot. The supporting ensemble includes Ke Huy Quan, Giancarlo Esposito, Stanley Tucci, Anthony Mackie, and Brian Cox — a formidable lineup assembled by the Russo brothers.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking diaspora viewers, The Electric State lands as a visually ambitious road-trip story set against a dystopian America that feels both familiar and surreal — themes of displacement, broken family bonds, and finding your people in an inhospitable world resonate deeply. The film is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing, so viewers who prefer to follow a fast-paced action-adventure entirely in Farsi can do so without missing a beat. The Russo brothers, known for large-scale Hollywood productions, bring a comic-book sensibility and high production value; think grand landscapes, spectacular set pieces, and an emotional throughline about siblings separated by forces beyond their control.
