The future looks bleak for Mickey Barnes, so he decides to sign up to become an “expendable”, a menial laborer who gets cloned and sent to an off-world colony on the icy planet of Niflheim. Mickey’s clones take on several dangerous (and lethal) jobs. Each time a clone dies, another is produced and the tough work continues. On one assignment, however, one of Mickey’s clones – “Mickey 17” – encounters trouble and is presumed dead when it fails to come back from the job. In the meantime, “Mickey 18” has already been produced and set to work. When the two clones encounter one another, they wrestle with the existential undercurrents of being disposable cogs in a corrupt and compassionless planetary government.
From writer/director Bog Joon-ho (Snowpiercer, Parasite) comes a wild new sci-fi thriller with a sense of humor, based on the novel by Edward Ashton.
