00:00Hi, it's Chris Pratt. I'm just kidding.
00:02Hey, what's up? It's Chris Pratt.
00:03I'm on the set of our new film, The Electric State.
00:05It's got me.
00:06It's got Millie Bobby Brown.
00:08It's the Russo brothers.
00:09I only have a minute to pitch it to you,
00:11but it would actually take me like about an hour and a half
00:13and I would just show you the movie.
00:14We are so excited to give you a first look
00:16at this brand new world.
00:18I feel like we're sitting on this giant secret.
00:20Get ready.
00:21Get ready for what now?
00:23The Electric State is set in an alternate version
00:27of the 1990s.
00:28You've got mail.
00:29Where robots existed
00:31and there was a war between humans and robots.
00:34The movie picks up in the aftermath of that war
00:37where a girl played by Millie Bobby Brown
00:39is looking for her brother
00:41who she believes may have died in the war.
00:44Ted is Michelle's foster parent.
00:48Ted's Gaza.
00:49Ted's rules.
00:50And he is addicted to the neurocasters.
00:53Michelle is one of the few people
00:55who does not want to put one of these things on.
00:57Michelle is incredibly rebellious,
00:59but she also has a lot of heart.
01:01She's really searching for connection
01:03in a world where people are checking out.
01:05I'm sorry I have a condition
01:07where I can only live in reality.
01:09Then one night,
01:10Michelle is visited by a kid Cosmo robot
01:12who she thinks holds the secret
01:14of where her missing brother is.
01:16So she goes on a road trip to find him.
01:19And she's unrelenting.
01:20You wouldn't happen to know how to drive?
01:22Not me either.
01:28Oh, boy.
01:29Together, they go on this journey
01:31to try to find her brother Christopher.
01:33Along the way, they meet Keats and Herman.
01:36Keats is somebody who can get her
01:38where she needs to go in order to find her brother.
01:40And then Herman is a robot
01:42who is Keats' best friend.
01:44What's in here again?
01:45Candy bars for you, bootylicious.
01:47They're both rebels.
01:48They're both bandits.
01:49We actually met in the war.
01:51You were sucking your thumb and crying like a baby.
01:54You know they don't really know human emotion.
01:56It was a war cry, like,
01:58Yeah!
01:59Wolverines!
02:02But along the way,
02:03a dystopian tech company is after Cosmo and Michelle,
02:07and they don't know why.
02:10And all of a sudden,
02:11the danger that's been following her
02:12swallows me up as well.
02:14You're under arrest for malicious assault,
02:16grand theft auto,
02:17and abetting an enemy of the state.
02:19Holy crap.
02:21Her journey will take her
02:23into the robot exclusion zone.
02:26Which is this completely fantastic world
02:28of robot society.
02:30And there's all this technology
02:31that oddly feels period,
02:33even though it never existed at the time.
02:35Where you meet hundreds of really unique robots.
02:38Mr. Peanut.
02:41No way.
02:43They're being hunted by very dangerous people.
02:46Through the course of the journey together,
02:48we start teaming up with all of the ragtag robots.
02:53Uh-oh.
02:54Feels like that might be a liability.
02:56Oh, boy.
03:01They're up!
03:02Of course I can.
03:03These robots do have hearts,
03:05and they do have emotion,
03:06and they do love.
03:07They're just inspired by this young woman
03:09who just wouldn't give up.
03:11The only way to rescue your brother is together.
03:15Let's go!
03:17I just love the kind of 90s feel of it.
03:20I grew up in the 80s and the 90s.
03:22This movie reminds me of productions from that era.
03:27It's full of action and adventure and comedy.
03:31It's fun and exciting and really imaginative.
03:35This film is incredibly moving.
03:37It's about family, it's about love,
03:39and it's about what this girl is willing to do
03:42to save the ones she loves.
03:44I think it's extraordinary.
03:45I've never seen anything quite like it.
03:47There's an entire universe here that is fresh and new.
03:52The best stories push you through
03:53the greatest range of emotions.
04:05There's not one Seinfeld reference in this whole movie.
04:08One of the biggest influences of the 90s,
04:10and there's, like, nothing.
