Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dark City about? Toggle content

In this mind-bending, neo-noir sci-fi thriller, John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) wakes up in a hotel bathtub with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Pursued by a group of pale, trenchcoat-clad strangers and a determined detective (Kiefer Sutherland), Murdoch discovers that he has the ability to manipulate reality and uncover the truth about his past. With the help of a mysterious doctor (Jennifer Connelly) and a rebellious scientist (William Hurt), Murdoch must navigate a surreal, perpetually nighttime city and confront the extraterrestrial beings known as "the Strangers" who are experimenting with human identity and memory. As he delves deeper into his own past and the true nature of the city, Murdoch must confront the darkest corners of his own psyche and make a choice that will determine the fate of humanity.
