Top 50 Most Popular Cyberpunk Movies To Watch In 2025

"Metropolis" is a groundbreaking 1927 film that captures the spirit of cyberpunk long before modern technology like computers, virtual reality, or cyberspace existed. Its visionary approach has made it a defining classic of the genre.

The story unfolds in a dystopian city where the privileged upper class enjoys lives of luxury powered by elaborate machines, maintained by the oppressed working masses far below the surface.

The city's prosperity relies entirely on this exploited labor force, who toil in harsh conditions without rights or recognition, while the elite remain oblivious to their suffering.

When the workers begin to stage an uprising, the city's authoritarian leader resorts to chaos and repression in an attempt to preserve his grip on power at any cost.

Directed by Fritz Lang and based on Thea von Harbou's novel, "Metropolis" champions the message: "The mediator between the head and the hands must be the heart," emphasizing the need for compassion and unity.

"The Terminator" is the groundbreaking first entry in the iconic Terminator franchise, which ultimately led to multiple sequels. Conceived by Gale Anne Hurd and James Cameron—who also directed—the film became a cultural phenomenon upon its release in 1984.

This movie launched both Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron into Hollywood stardom. Its story revolves around Skynet, a vast corporation responsible for developing advanced robotics and artificial intelligence technologies.

Set in a dystopian future, Skynet’s AI becomes self-aware and declares war on humanity. To secure their dominance, Skynet sends a deadly cyborg assassin—the T-800—back to the past to eliminate John Connor, the leader of the human resistance.

Arnold Schwarzenegger famously immersed himself in the role of the Terminator by keeping his distance from co-stars Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn to preserve his character’s menacing persona. Remarkably, he speaks only 14 lines in the entire film, adding to the character’s chilling presence.

"Brazil" is a darkly satirical film set in a dystopian future dominated by oppressive bureaucracy, rampant consumerism, and invasive technology. The story unfolds in a society gripped by totalitarian control, where individuality is stifled and surveillance is omnipresent.

At the center is Sam Lowry, a low-level government clerk trapped in the monotony of paperwork. Haunted by vivid dreams of saving a mysterious woman, he yearns to escape his bleak reality and find love amidst the chaos.

Sam’s world turns upside down when he meets his dream woman, who is unjustly accused of terrorism. Determined to save her, he embarks on a dangerous quest that brings him into direct conflict with the system’s rigid order.

Notably, Robert De Niro originally wanted to play Jack Lint but Terry Gilliam had already cast Michael Palin in the role, leading De Niro to portray the enigmatic Tuttle instead. Katherine Helmond embraced the role of Mrs. Lowry, fully aware of her character’s deeply flawed nature.

"Blade Runner," directed by Ridley Scott, stands as a landmark in cyberpunk cinema. Inspired by Philip K. Dick's novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", the film immerses viewers in a visually stunning, rain-soaked dystopia.

The story captured audiences worldwide, earning a dedicated cult following and inspiring the acclaimed sequel "Blade Runner 2049." In this future society, advanced androids known as replicants are engineered by the powerful Tyrell Corporation to perform dangerous or menial labor for humans.

Enforcing the fragile boundary between humans and replicants are specialized officers called Blade Runners. Their mission is to track down and "retire" rogue replicants who defy their creators and escape into human society.

The film centers on Deckard, a Blade Runner whose pursuit of a rebellious group of replicants leads him to Rachel, a replicant with whom he gradually falls in love. Deckard's relationship with Rachel challenges his perceptions and ignites a broader question about identity and freedom among replicants.

Rutger Hauer's portrayal of Roy Batty, the charismatic leader of the replicant resistance, is widely celebrated. His emotional "Tears in Rain" monologue, largely improvised on set, remains one of cinema's most memorable and moving moments.

"Terminator 2: Judgment Day," the blockbuster sequel to the original Terminator film, solidified the reputations of Arnold Schwarzenegger and director James Cameron as icons within the action and sci-fi genres.

This second installment builds on its predecessor's success by taking the story to new heights. Skynet's artificial intelligence program, far from being terminated, emerges stronger and more dangerous than ever.

After the traumatic events of the first movie, Sarah Connor finds herself institutionalized, while her son, John Connor, grows up separated from her and unaware of his crucial future role in humanity's survival.

In a twist of fate, two cyborgs are sent from the future—one with a mission to protect John, and the other driven to destroy him, setting the stage for an epic showdown.

Robert Patrick's portrayal of the relentless T-1000 was made all the more convincing through rigorous physical training. His carefully honed running technique allowed his character to appear eerily unstoppable, even managing to outrun Edward Furlong during intense chase scenes.

Looper (2012) is a stylish entry in the cyberpunk genre. Set in a dystopian 2074, time travel is illegal but exploited by criminal organizations. The story centers on Joe, a looper assigned to eliminate targets sent back from the future.

The film masterfully explores themes such as free will, fate, and the far-reaching consequences of time manipulation. Its gritty, neon-soaked Kansas City backdrop highlights a society starkly divided between affluence and the marginalized, reinforcing its cyberpunk credentials.

Thanks to its compelling plot, rich visual style, and thoughtful examination of philosophical questions, Looper stands out as a must-watch for anyone interested in science fiction and cyberpunk narratives.

"Ghost in the Shell" is an iconic Japanese anime film adapted from the acclaimed manga series by Masamune Shirow.

Regarded as a groundbreaking entry in the cyberpunk genre, this film has profoundly influenced renowned Hollywood filmmakers such as the Wachowskis and James Cameron.

Set in 2029, it imagines a world where cyborgs blend seamlessly with humans and the internet can be directly accessed through neural links.

In this era of advanced technology, a notorious hacker known as the Puppet Master disrupts society by infiltrating networks to steal data and commit cybercrimes.

Major Motoko Kusanagi, a skilled operative from the covert Section 9, is determined to apprehend the elusive hacker. Masamune Shirow chose the title "Ghost in the Shell" as a homage to Arthur Koestler's influential book, "The Ghost in the Machine."

Blade Runner 2049 is a visually stunning sequel to the iconic cyberpunk classic, Blade Runner. Returning characters like Officers Rick Deckard and Gaff play pivotal roles in this continuation of the original story.

The narrative unfolds several years after the events of the first film. Deckard and Rachel's child was secretly born, forcing Deckard to live apart to protect the child from those who might exploit this secret.

Meanwhile, the Replicant freedom movement intensifies, and the search for Rachel’s child becomes central to the plot. Wallace Corp, the successor to Tyrell Corp, seeks the key to replicant reproduction to further their plans for creating a replicant slave colony.

Director Denis Villeneuve initially intended to cast David Bowie as Wallace Corp's CEO. Following Bowie's untimely passing, Jared Leto was selected for the role, bringing a new dimension to the enigmatic character.

Set within a secluded, state-of-the-art mansion, Ex Machina (2014) explores the fascinating world of artificial intelligence and its profound effects on humanity.

Caleb's encounters with Ava captivate him, blurring the lines between curiosity and obsession as he uncovers the depths of her intelligence.

The film poses thought-provoking ethical dilemmas about building and treating sentient machines, urging audiences to reflect on the complex consequences we face as technology challenges—and perhaps surpasses—the essential boundaries between humanity and artificial intelligence.

"Minority Report" is based on the acclaimed short story by Philip K. Dick. The film was initially conceived as a sequel to "Total Recall," but production challenges, including bankruptcy, led to the project being shelved for a time.

Director Steven Spielberg later revived the idea, giving shape to this futuristic thriller. Tom Cruise stars as John Anderton, chief of the Precrime department, which uses individuals with precognitive abilities—known as "precogs"—to prevent crimes before they occur.

The story explores how precognition is linked to the drug Neuroin, a condition leveraged by Lamar Burgess to establish and control the Precrime unit. As the system's flaws are exposed, Anderton himself becomes accused, thrusting him into a battle to clear his name.

Tom Cruise took his role seriously, learning techniques for underwater scenes rather than relying on CGI. He also opted out of his usual salary, instead taking 15% of the film's gross earnings to help manage the movie's budget.

Widely regarded as a defining film of the cyberpunk genre, The Matrix launched a groundbreaking franchise with its first installment and three sequels that followed.

Written and directed by the Wachowskis, the film draws significant inspiration from Japanese cyberpunk manga, particularly the iconic series Ghost in the Shell.

For his role, Keanu Reeves lost fifteen pounds and shaved his head to authentically portray Neo’s emaciated, bald look inside the pods.

Set in a dystopian future, "Akira" is a groundbreaking Japanese anime film set in Neo Tokyo, thirty years after the devastation of World War III. The city, rebuilt from ruins, has become a chaotic metropolis controlled by corrupt officials, criminals, and an oppressive military regime.

The story follows Tetsuo, a member of a notorious biker gang, who is captured by the military and subjected to secret experiments. These trials unlock powerful telekinetic abilities within him, abilities reminiscent of the mysterious figure known as Akira.

The story centers on Grey, a technophobe navigating a world increasingly dominated by technology, AI, and computer chips. Reluctant but desperate, Grey agrees to a revolutionary chip implant called STEM after a tragic car accident leaves him paralyzed and his wife dead.

With STEM, Grey regains his mobility but soon loses control over his own actions, as the line between man and machine blurs. The film's themes and its portrayal of an outside force controlling the protagonist have drawn comparisons to the comic book character Venom.

Interestingly, the lead actors in both Upgrade and Venom share a notably similar appearance, adding another layer of parallel between the two movies.

THX 1138, written and directed by George Lucas in his feature film debut, originated as a story he developed while attending the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

Upon release, the film received mixed reviews. However, following Lucas's massive success with Star Wars, THX 1138 attracted renewed interest and eventually gained a devoted cult following.

Set in a distant and oppressive future, the film explores a society where every aspect of life is tightly regulated by technology, machines, and androids. Citizens are forced to take mood-suppressing drugs that eliminate any desire for rebellion or change.

Amid this stifling regime, one man—THX 1138—begins to awaken to his own emotions and individuality. With the support of a woman, LUH 3417, he dares to challenge the system and seek a different path for himself and their society.

While Gattaca isn't a traditional cyberpunk film, it's best described as "biopunk"—offering a unique take on a dystopian future where technology and genetic engineering dominate society.

The story explores eugenics, depicting a future where genetic selection not only determines opportunities but also fuels systemic discrimination. Children born naturally are marked as "in-valids" and face lifelong prejudice.

The protagonist, Vincent Freeman, dreams of space travel but is denied due to his genetic status. Born outside the eugenics program, he faces rejection at every turn.

With ingenuity and the help of Jerome Morrow, Vincent manages to outsmart the system and realize his ambition to journey into space.

In a creative marketing campaign, the film's release was preceded by offers for real genetic engineering consultations—an idea that drew unexpected levels of interest.

As Murdoch delves deeper into the mystery surrounding him, he discovers he possesses extraordinary psychokinetic abilities, allowing him to alter reality itself to his will. He must use these newfound powers to outsmart the Strangers and uncover the truth about his existence.

An interesting behind-the-scenes detail: the character Mr. Sleep was portrayed by Satya and Noah Gumbert—who were avid fans of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. To entertain the cast and crew during production, Richard O’Brien, who also starred in the film, would occasionally narrate the movie in the style of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

"Total Recall," directed by Paul Verhoeven, is inspired by Philip K. Dick's short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale." Set in a future where humanity has colonized Mars, this film presents a gripping tale of identity and memory. A 2012 remake revisited the same intriguing premise.

The story follows a construction worker on Earth who experiences vivid dreams of thrilling escapades on Mars. As he obsessively searches for answers, he faces increasing resistance from those around him, deepening the mystery of his dreams.

Eventually, he begins to unravel the true nature of his suppressed memories and the dark secrets behind the corporation responsible for Mars' dystopian society.

Notably, this film marked one of Sharon Stone's early roles. Director Paul Verhoeven admired her ability to seamlessly transition from ingénue to fierce fighter, a quality that later secured her a part in his film "Basic Instinct."

"A.I. Artificial Intelligence," directed by Steven Spielberg, is inspired by Brian Aldiss's short story "Supertoys Last All Summer Long." The film explores the intersection of humanity and technology in a future shaped by climate change.

Spielberg not only directed but also wrote and produced the movie. Set in a world where androids are commonplace, the story centers on David, a childlike android uniquely designed with the capacity to love unconditionally.
