Future World (2018) is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi film directed by James Franco and Bruce Thierry Cheung. Set in a desolate wasteland where civilization has collapsed, the movie follows a young man known as the Prince (Jeffrey Wahlberg) as he embarks on a dangerous journey to find a cure for his dying mother, the Queen (Lucy Liu).

In this lawless world, resources are scarce, and ruthless warlords control what little remains. One such warlord, simply called Warlord (James Franco), rules with an iron fist, accompanied by a highly advanced android assassin named Ash (Suki Waterhouse). Ash, originally created for destruction, begins to question her existence as she encounters the Prince and his quest.

As the Prince navigates this brutal world, he faces treacherous enemies, including the sadistic Drug Lord (Milla Jovovich) and violent scavengers who will stop at nothing to take what they want. Along the way, he forms unexpected alliances, but betrayal and danger lurk at every turn.

With its dystopian setting, high-energy action, and themes of survival and humanity, Future World explores the struggle between chaos and hope in a broken world. While it draws inspiration from classic post-apocalyptic films like Mad Max, the movie received mixed to negative reviews, with critics pointing out its lack of originality and weak storytelling. However, its star-studded cast and intense action sequences still make it an intriguing watch for fans of the genre.

In the end, Future World is a tale of desperation, power, and the search for redemption in a world where the future is uncertain, and survival comes at a cost.
