Captive State (2019) is a dystopian sci-fi thriller set in a near-future Chicago, where Earth has been occupied by an alien species known as “The Legislators.” Ten years after their invasion, the aliens rule with an iron grip, controlling the human population through surveillance, repression, and collaboration with certain factions.
The film follows a group of resistance fighters who secretly oppose the alien occupation. Two main characters, Gabriel and Rafe, find themselves at the heart of this underground movement.
Gabriel, a young man who was once a loyal worker under the alien regime, becomes embroiled in a plot to undermine the oppressive system. Meanwhile, Rafe, his brother, works from the inside to expose the truth. As tensions rise, the resistance aims to strike a decisive blow, but the occupiers are always one step ahead.
With a mix of action, political intrigue, and exploration of the human spirit under occupation, Captive State offers a tense look at resistance, betrayal, and the struggle for freedom.
