About

"Mickey 17" is a sci-fi adventure film set in the year 2054, where Mickey Barnes, played by Robert Pattinson, becomes an "Expendable" to escape financial troubles. He joins a space mission to colonize the icy planet Niflheim, where he is cloned and revived every time he dies. This unique premise allows him to undertake dangerous tasks crucial for the colony's survival. Mickey's story intertwines with romance, as he develops a relationship with security officer Nasha, and navigates the complex dynamics of the colony. The film explores themes of colonization, corruption, and the ethics of cloning. It delves into the societal implications of treating life as disposable and questions the morality of human expansion into inhabited territories. The plot thickens with the emergence of sentient alien creatures known as "creepers," leading to a confrontation that challenges the colony's leadership and Mickey's own existence. Directed by Bong Joon-ho, "Mickey 17" combines dark humor with profound social commentary, making it a thought-provoking addition to the sci-fi genre.
