Mr. Robot (2015)

This is a FREE advance screening of a TV show pilot!

Winner of the Audience Award at SXSW!

Mr. Robot follows Elliot (Rami Malek), a brilliant computer expert with a fondness for hoodies, recreational heroin use and using his internet skills for vigilante justice. Facing the world with an awkward, Zuckerberg-esque affect, Elliot hates the world in front of him and wants to change it, one asshole at a time. But when he meets the leader of "fsociety" (played by Christian Slater) — a hacker even more anarchic and skilled than him, who's interested in truly tearing down the whole system — that point of view is put to the test.
