The new trailer for The Electric State begins with Keats (Chris Pratt) meeting with a robot being controlled by a human at night in an empty parking lot. Keats is looking to trade a handgun with the robot, but once the robot has the gun it looks to pull off a double-cross. However, Keats is ready, and one of his companion robots gets the drop on the other bot. Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown) and her Cosmo bot watch it all unfold and follow Keats back to his garage, where they’re quickly discovered. Michelle is looking for her younger brother, and together with Keats they head off on an adventure to the Exclusive Zone.

Humans and robots are working together to fight against the real enemy: the corrupt system. There are some cool fight sequences in the trailer for The Electric State, including one that takes place at a fair with Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch music playing in the background, much to the chagrin of Keats. The visuals for The Electric State are also impressive, with the special effects displaying robots of all different sizes and designs, from the overly large to the small, and some even having recognizable faces like a Mr. Peanut knockoff.
