An Intriguing Sci-Fi Tale

 

Mickey 17 is a sci-fi drama based on the 2022 novel Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton.

 

Set in a futuristic world, the story follows a team of human explorers sent to colonize an icy planet.

 

The protagonist, Mickey, is an “Expendable,” a disposable employee whose consciousness can be transferred to a new cloned body upon death.

 

The film takes an intriguing turn when Mickey’s 17th iteration discovers that his 18th version has been activated, leading to a dramatic encounter between the two.
