The Electric State: The Russo brothers' film, "The Electric State," is based on Simon Stålenhag's book of the same name, which reimagines the 1990s as a dystopian future in which humans and machines go to war as robots gain consciousness and demand more rights. In light of this on Afdah, the movie centers on Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown), an orphaned teen, as she embarks on a perilous adventure to track down her younger brother Christopher, a boy genius, and a mysterious robot named Cosmo. Black marketeer Keats (Chris Pratt) and his sly robot best friend Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie) accompany them on their quest, which is being pursued by baddies who wish to kill (or worse) their robot sidekicks.

Millie Bobby Brown's portrayal as the person helping the special kid was a welcome change from her role as the special youngster in Stranger Things who needs new friends to save her and the world. Ethan Skate, the main antagonist, is portrayed by Stanley Tucci as a millionaire businessman who owns the copyright to a novel technology that lets people inhabit and control robotic bodies, allowing them to be in two locations at once. To sign a peace treaty that forbids humans from harboring robots, they use this technology to defeat the robots in battle.

Giancarlo Esposito portrays "The Marshall," an anti-AI character well-known for murdering multiple robots during the conflict, while Woody Harrelson voices Mr. Peanut, the robots' leader. In a criminally wasted cameo, Ke Huy Quan plays Dr. Amherst, who owns the key to Michelle's brother's location. When the robots created to help humanity rebelled in 1990, they demanded a place in the world and their rights. Following the announcement of war, a deal was draughted four years later that exiled robots, headed by Woody Harrelson's character Mr. Peanut, to The EX, a remote region that resembles a prison.

The "neurocaster," which enables human users to put on a helmet and inhabit a robotic body, was developed by Skate (Stanley Tucci), who is assisting in promoting peace. Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown), a teenager in 1994, is trying to get away from a terrible existence she and her father (Jason Alexander) are leading following an accident that claimed the lives of her mother and her brilliant brother Christopher (Woody Norman). As Michelle struggles with her issues, she is inspired to look into what happened with Dr. Amherst (Key Huy Quan) and his covert behavior with her sibling after receiving a visit from a Kid Cosmo robot posing as Christopher's avatar. The gang is being sought by Colonel Bradbury (Giancarlo Esposito, in yet another villainous character), who represents the Robot Deactivation Task Force and is out to capture Kid Cosmo. Keats (Chris Pratt) and his robot friend Herman (Anthony Mackie), who are familiar with the terrain, join the quest.
