400 years into the future, disease has wiped out the majority of the world's population, except one walled city, Bregna, ruled by a congress of scientists. When Æon Flux, the top operative in the underground 'Monican' rebellion, is sent on a mission to kill a government leader, she uncovers a world of secrets.
Production
Bregna's brutalist architecture is giving budget Blade Runner excellence.
Practical Effects
Theron trained four months; that foot-fight scene is REAL.

Those vinyl outfits deserve their own supporting credit.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Peter Chung, creator of the original MTV Liquid Television shorts, publicly disowned this film for toning down the surrealism and sexuality.
This was Karyn Kusama's studio punishment after Girlfight won Sundance but flopped—Hollywood letting a woman direct action, then burying her for fifteen years.
