101 Films has just released a “Limited Edition” Johnny Mnemonic Blu-ray in the UK. The 1995 sci-fi cyberpunk cult classic film is based on a story by William Gibson.
The movie stars Keanu Reeves, Dolph Lundgren, Dina Meyer, Takeshi Kitano and Ice-T.
Johnny Mnemonic (Keanu Reeves) is a data courier that stores information in his brain at the cost of losing some of his childhood memories. He then delivers the data to the customer and receives payment.
