The 10 Best Cyberpunk Movies of All Time

Cyberpunk is a portmanteau of cybernetics and punk. Fittingly, cyberpunk films are usually set in a near-future, post-industrial and sometimes Dystopian Earth or Earth-like society. These societies are dominated by some tyrannical, cruel regime, in which the lower class lives in a perpetual state of negligence. Such regimes might come in the form of mega-corporations and/or artificial intelligence that have taken over mankind. Common themes include social decay, Crime, rebellious youth, tropes related to the emergence of the world wide web and hacker culture in particular, as well as the unintended consequences of technology. Certain films also highlight the ethical problems characters are compelled to face during a period of moral ambiguity.
