Mickey 17 (2025) is a high-concept sci-fi thriller directed by Bong Joon Ho. The story follows Mickey Barnes, a worker on a remote ice planet who is “expendable” — every time he dies in the line of duty, he is cloned and replaced by a new version, retaining partial memories. When Mickey is presumed dead, he returns as Mickey 8, and finds that his former life has continued without him — raising profound questions of identity, purpose, and what it means to be “you.” The film blends existential doubt with gripping action, emotional stakes, and Bong’s signature visual style.
