What's 'Murderbot' All About?
The film centres around Murderbot, a self-aware security unit that has hacked its governor module, allowing it to operate independently. However, it’s not quite ready to embrace freedom.

The film doesn't shy away from exploring complex themes, but it does so with a sharp wit and a playful tone that keeps viewers engaged.
Skarsgård's Stellar Performance
