400 years in the future, set in the year 2415, Aeon Flux is a mysterious
assassin. Four centuries after a virus nearly decimated the human race,
leaving only five million survivors in a utopian city called Bregna. Aeon
is struggling to destroy the Goodchild regime led by its namesake, Trevor
Goodchild, the ruler of Bregna and a descendant of the man who found a cure
for the deadly virus. As instructed by the Handler, Aeon is assigned to
assassinate Goodchild, but there are deeper secrets to be discovered, and
conspiracies to be foiled.
400 years in the future, when disease has wiped out the majority of the
earth's population except for one walled, protected city-state: Bregna,
ruled by a congress of scientists. The story centers on Aeon Flux, the top
operative in the underground Monican rebellion, led by the Handler. When
Aeon is sent on a mission to kill a government leader, she uncovers a world
of secrets....
In the Century XXV, a virus exterminated most of the population of Earth,
and the last city is Bregna, which is ruled by Trevor Goodchild (Marton
Csokas) and protected by wall from the outside world. A resistance group
entitled Monicans and led by The Handler (Frances McDormand), assigns the
assassin Aeon Flux (Charlize Theron) to kill Trevor and overthrow the
government. However, Aeon Flux discloses a scheme plotted by Oren Goodchild
(Jonny Lee Miller) against his brother Trevor and she resolves to protect
Trevor instead of killing him.
The year is 2415. 400 years after a virus wiped out half of the world's
population, the people that survived the virus now live in Bragna, a
fortified city that is surrounded by a wall isolating the people from the
virus infested rest of the world. Living in Bragna City, Aeon Flux, a
mysterious female assassin who works for a underground group of rebels led
by Handler. Aeon's latest assignment is to assassinate Trevor Goodchild, a
member of the council that controls Bragna City. When Aeon's younger sister
Una is killed by government agents, Aeon disobeys orders and decides to
protect Trevor, and suspects Trevor's brother Oren and the council members
are plotting against Trevor. And when Handler learns Aeon failed the
mission, Handler orders Aeon to be eliminated, and Aeon must risk
everything as she not only protects Trevor, but also uncovers secrets and
answers about her mysterious past and the government and all life in Bragna
City itself.
Set against the 2011 virus that kills 99% of the world's populace, and in
the last city on Earth, Bregna, the survivors, some four hundred years
later, in the year 2415, are continuing to live in the Goodchild dynasty,
the name of the scientist who developed its cure. All is not well in this
utopia and it is not what lies beyond its high walls that protects its
citizens from the never ending jungle but what unspoken, unwritten taboo
that holds and binds these unfortunates' together that lies within these
walls of paranoia, conformity and unquestionable obedience. Filmed in and
around Berlin, ironically, this is a story set against a totalitarian
state, a walled city, where its peoples are no longer capable of
reproducing, and its sinister and most secret plot of how it sustains life.
Ĉon Flux is the assassin that has been assigned by the underground rebels
to change the course of Mankind, forever. This is the story of her fight
for justice, freedom and revenge.
