🌌🧠 Mickey 17 (2025): He was created to die — but something inside him chose to live.

"They built him to be erased. He became the one memory they couldn’t kill."

In a future where death has been outsourced and memory is a commodity, Mickey 17 tells the haunting tale of a man designed to be disposable — and what happens when he starts asking why.

Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) is an “Expendable” — a clone used for dangerous off-world missions where survival isn't expected. Each time a version dies, another is printed, loaded with old memories, and sent back to finish the job. He is now on his seventeenth iteration. But unlike the sixteen before him, Mickey 17 begins to remember.

The system doesn’t just erase memory… it edits history. With the help of a rebellious AI engineer, he dives deep into the fabric of his identity, discovering that his humanity is more intact — and dangerous — than they ever anticipated.
