Trailer: 

In a gritty, dystopian future where technology reigns supreme, Freejack is a thrilling sci-fi ride packed with action and moral dilemmas. The story begins in 1991 with Alex Furlong (Emilio Estevez), a skilled race car driver on the verge of victory, whose life takes a sudden and violent turn when his car crashes. But instead of meeting death, Alex is pulled from the moment of impact and transported 18 years into the future.

It’s 2009, and Alex awakens to a terrifying new reality. His body has been “freejacked” by a corrupt system, where the wealthy and powerful cheat death by stealing younger bodies to host their consciousness. Hunted by ruthless mercenaries led by the cold and relentless Vacendak (Mick Jagger), Alex becomes a fugitive, desperate to escape their clutches.

As Alex navigates a decayed and hostile cityscape, he reconnects with his former love, Julie (Rene Russo), who now holds the key to his survival. Together, they uncover a conspiracy that goes deeper than either could imagine, as Alex learns the sinister truth behind why he was chosen.

Packed with high-speed chases, intense showdowns, and philosophical questions about identity and morality, Freejack challenges its characters—and the audience—to confront what it truly means to be human. Will Alex reclaim his stolen life, or will he succumb to the soulless machine of a future that sees people as nothing more than expendable commodities?
