Dark City

Dark City

1998

John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) awakens in a hotel room to find he's wanted for a series of murders he doesn't remember committing. Murdoch encounters the Strangers, a group of ominous beings with a collective memory who can stop time and alter physical reality. He begins to piece together his memories -- childhood, love for his wife (Jennifer Connelly) and the key to the murders -- all the while trying to avoid the underworld of the Strangers.

They built the city to see what makes us tick. Last night one of us went off.
