Johnny Mnemonic

Keanu Reeves ("Whoa.") plays a guy with a 80 gigabyte hard drive in his brain. He does the standard doubling procedure to get 160. No biggie. In the future, people remember like computers. But he overloads the hard drive by downloading a 320 gigabyte file. This means that the extra information will seep into his brain and kill him if he can't get it out in time. In the future, disks can go way over their limit. So, he goes back to his boss who hangs out with people in bad 80's style makeup only worse. And these people are supposed to be attractive. In the future, bad makeup is attractive. But the boss had Johnny set up. I guess he was useless to him now or something. Meanwhile, a large pharmaceutical company is after Johnny's head. So, Johnny meets a love interest who suffers from the black shakes, a computer-related disease, and he takes her to a guy named Spider, played by Henry Rollins. They hook up, and Henry looks at the information inside Johnny's head, even though it was made very clear that a password was necessary. In the future, you can open password-protected files as read-only documents. It turns out it's a cure for the black shakes. Suddenly, and without warning, except for the part where we all saw it coming, Dolph Lundgren enters as a cyber-Jesus. For those of you who don't recall, Dolph Lundgren played the incredible role of a lifetime as He-Man in Masters of the Universe. So, Jesus He-Man kills off Henry Rollins by pinning his hands to the wall with scalpels and stabbing him in the side. In the future, only insane cyber-criminals are Christ-like. But Keanu and his woman escape and meet Ice-T in Free Newark, which is the only free city in the world, I guess. In the future, nobody wants to rule Newark. Ice-T runs a low-tech information scheme and broadcasts it over TV. In the future, everyone, even the giant TV in Times Square tunes in to the illegal information channel. The only person who can save Keanu is someone named Jones. Ice-T knows Jones and introduces Jones to Keanu. Jones, by the way, is a dolphin. Then the bad guys attack. The good guys beat the main bad guys. Then the more subversive bad guys attack, and one of them has a laser whip which can cut through anything. In the future, concentrated light beams can bend with momentum and inertia. Keanu kills him with his own weapon. He-Man Jesus nails Keanu's woman to a wall, and the dolphin uses his great mental powers to short-circuit all of He-Man Jesus's circuitry, frying him. Keanu gets the cure downloaded and broadcast everywhere. Then he gets the memories from his childhood back, even though they'd been surgically removed. Yeah. This movie was a lame joke. The cassette was orange, and Keanu Reeves and He-Man got top billing. In the future, He-Man looks like Jesus.
