JOHNNY MNEMONIC: In Black and White
1995, 97 minutes
Directed by Robert Longo
Director Approved Black and White Version
Set in a 2021, where society is atrophying from excessive online activity, Johnny Mnemonic (Keanu Reeves) works as a corporate courier, carrying encrypted data stored in a brain implant... at the cost of his own memories. Tasked with a sensitive payload that might cause him permanent damage, he's got to race for his life when warring factions seek to extract it the hard way.
Made by downtown New York artist Robert Longo, this unique adaptation of cyberpunk author William Gibson's story co-stars Dina Meyer, Dolph Lundgren, Ice-T and 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano. In 2022 the film was remastered in black and white as Longo originally wanted the film.
