Æon Flux

Æon Flux is set centuries after a virus has destroyed most of humanity, leaving the survivors in Bregna, a walled city run by a congress of scientists. Outside its walls, a rebel movement known as the Monicans opposes the government. Æon Flux, the group's most capable operative, is assigned to kill the city's leader. The mission leads her to question what she has been told about Bregna and about her own past, and she begins to uncover secrets that change how she sees both the government and the rebellion.
