Cyberpunk is once again in the spotlight thanks to recent games and series, and it's giving us a techno-noir renaissance. Delivering stunning stories against futuristic dystopian settings, dark vibes, and jaded protagonists, this genre is ripe for storytelling. Movies like Blade Runner and The Matrix popularized the genre back in the 1980s and '90s, but there are plenty of movies you may have missed along the way.

One of my overlooked favorites is Dark City, a mind-bending techno-noir thriller that explores the idea of identity against the backdrop of a city swathed in darkness. Released in 1998, this absolute gem preceded The Matrix by a year, and it's currently streaming for free on Tubi .
