The first live-action Aeon Flux project was released in 2005. The film took place 400 years into the future, when disease had wiped out the majority of the earth’s population except for one walled, protected city-state, Bregna, ruled by a congress of scientists. The story centered on Aeon Flux (Charlize Theron), the top operative in the underground ‘Monican’ rebellion – led by The Handler (Frances McDormand). When Aeon is sent on a mission to kill a government leader, she uncovers a world of secrets.
