The scientists encrypt the data with three random images from a television feed and start sending these images to the receiver in Newark, New Jersey, but they are attacked and killed by the Yakuza, led by a man Shinji (Akiyama) who wields a laser trip wire beam weapon, before the images can be fully transmitted. Johnny warns that he must have the data extracted within a few days or suffer psychological damage. Johnny initially balks when he learns the data exceeds his memory capacity even with compression, but agrees given the large fee will be enough to cover the cost of the operation to remove the device. His current job is for a group of scientists in Beijing. Johnny is a "mnemonic courier" who discreetly transports sensitive data for corporations in a storage device implanted in his brain at the cost of his childhood memories. Megacorporations control much of the world, intensifying the class hostility already created by NAS. In 2021, society is driven by a virtual Internet, which has created a degenerate effect called "nerve attenuation syndrome" or NAS.
4.1 Johnny Mnemonic: In Black and White.
In 2022, a black-and-white edition of the film, titled Johnny Mnemonic: In Black and White, was released. The film was released in the United States on May 26, 1995. Shot on location in Canada, with Toronto and Montreal filling in for the Newark and Beijing settings, a number of local sites, including Toronto's Union Station and Montreal's skyline and Jacques Cartier Bridge, are prominently featured.Ī longer version (103 mins) of the film that is closer to the director's cut premiered in Japan on April 15, 1995, featuring a score by Mychael Danna and different editing. The film portrays Gibson's dystopian, prophetic view of 2021 with the world wracked by a tech-induced plague, awash with conspiracies, and dominated by megacorporations, with strong East Asian influences. Reeves plays the title character, a man with an overloaded, cybernetic brain implant designed to store information. Based on the 1981 story of the same name by William Gibson, it stars Keanu Reeves and Dolph Lundgren. Johnny Mnemonic is a 1995 cyberpunk film directed by Robert Longo in his directorial debut.
