One year before
the release of The
Matrix, Alex Proyas
created his own
dark world set within
an alternate reality:
the world of Dark
City.
Proyas had already
proven himself as
a master filmmaker
as the acclaimed
director of The
Crow, overcoming
his grief at the
death of Brandon
Lee (with the support
of Brandon's family),
completing the classic
gothic action film.
Proyas wrote and
directed Dark City,
a tale that includes
suspense, murder,
dark fantasy and
surreal visions.
As the story unfolds,
John Murdoch awakens
in an old hotel
with no memory of
his identity or
his previous life.
He discovers that
he is the suspect
in a series of murders.
While evading capture,
in a quest to explain
the mystery of his
new life, he discovers
The Strangers, a
frightening, hidden
society that can
stop time and manipulate
reality.
Murdoch's final
confrontation with
The Strangers leads
to a shocking and
beautiful ending.
