Robots and A-list actors collide in the final trailer for The Electric State, directed by the Russo Brothers.

Based on the graphic novel by Simon Stålenhag, the film, which stars Stranger Things' Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, takes place during an alternate version of the '90s. In this retro-futuristic past, robots — some of them looking like cartoons or mascots — attempted a failed uprising against humanity. Now, the robots live in the Exclusion Zone in the American West.

Brown plays Michelle, a teenage orphan on the hunt for her long-lost brother Christopher. Her only clue? A sweet robot named Cosmo (voiced by Alan Tudyk), who seems to be controlled by Christopher from afar.

As Michelle and Cosmo journey to the Exclusion Zone, they'll cross paths with a smuggler named Keats (Pratt) and his robot sidekick Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie). Can this ragtag group of underdogs save Christopher and unravel the sinister workings behind his disappearance?

Watch Brown and Pratt in action in the trailer above, and keep your eyes and ears peeled for the actors behind each robot. Colman Domingo and Giancarlo Esposito robots make an appearance in the trailer, but Woody Harrelson, Brian Cox, and Jenny Slate also lend their voices to The Electric State's mechanical ensemble. Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Stanley Tucci, and Woody Norman also star.

The Electric State hits Netflix on March 14.
