*Code 8 Part I (2019)
6.1 Rating 100 min
A super-powered construction worker falls in with a group of criminals in order to raise the funds to help his ill mother. In the early 20th century, the public becomes aware of people with superhuman abilities, known as Powers, resulting in the government passing a law requiring all Powers to register their abilities. Although they are initially popular in the workforce, as the Third Industrial Revolution begins, Powers are marginalized. A crime syndicate known as the Trust has flooded the streets with an addictive drug called Psyke, made from the spinal fluid of trafficked Powers. Police departments begin using drone-deployed robots, called Guardians, and facial recognition software to combat Power-related crime while a citywide Powers ban is debated. Connor Reed, a 26-year-old Electric ("electrokinetic") looks after his mother, Mary, a Cryo ("cryokinetic"), whose ailment impedes her from controlling her powers. They cannot afford treatment. Connor makes ends meet by working as an unregistered day laborer alongside other Powers.

*Code 8 Part II (2024)
5.7 Rating 100 min
Follows a girl fighting to get justice for her slain brother by corrupt police officers. She enlists the help of an ex-con and his former partner, they face a highly regarded and well protected police sergeant. Five years following the events of Code 8, the LCPD has reformed their militarized tech program, replacing the majority of their armed humanoid robots (Guardians) with non-lethal companion K9 robots, similar to dogs. Under the leadership of Sergeant Kingston, the project has been a success and the streets have never been safer. Garrett has taken control of an apartment complex called Towers where he runs his "ethical" drug empire, paying powered people for their spinal fluid to make the drug Psyke. Pavani and her older brother Tarak live in poverty within this community. When Tarak’s desperation leads him to steal a bag of cash from Garrett’s gang, Tarek gets caught by Sgt. King and his unit of corrupt cops, who are being paid off. To cover it up, King orders a K9 unit to hunt him down, injecting him with Psyke to make it look like an overdose. Pav witnesses the murder, and using her rare ability, she causes the robotic K9 to malfunction and escapes.
