The film played extremely well at SXSW earlier in the year, and is out in US cinemas on the 1st of June. Here’s a couple of tasters of what’s in store – both green band and ultraviolent red band varieties.
Upgrade Movie Synopsis
Set in the near-future, technology controls nearly all aspects of life. But when Grey, a self-identified technophobe, has his world turned upside down, his only hope for revenge is an experimental computer chip implant called Stem.
