When government agents murder her family, AEON FLUX (Charlize Theron) swears revenge. A highly trained soldier on the front lines of a war against the perfect society, Aeon is one of the few to suspect that this perfect life is hiding a perfect lie. She is the top operative in an underground rebellion against the dictatorial leaders of BREGNA – a walled future city, a seemingly utopian future society with no disease, no hunger, and no war. Everything Aeon knows is challenged when she receives her latest assignment: the assassination of TREVOR GOODCHILD, a ruler of Bregna.
Set in 2415, Aeon Flux is a startling vision of a future in flux from Karyn Kusama, director of the acclaimed film Girlfight.
