Plot: Electric Dreams 1984 is a unique blend of science fiction, romance, and early computer age fantasy. Released during a decade fascinated by technology and love stories, the film tells the quirky tale of a love triangle between a man, a woman, and a sentient computer.

The story follows Miles, a shy architect who purchases a new computer to help organize his life. After a bizarre accident involving spilled champagne, the computer becomes self-aware and takes on a personality of its own. Things become complicated when both Miles and the computer fall in love with his neighbor, Madeline, a beautiful cellist.

With a vibrant early 80s soundtrack featuring artists like Culture Club, Jeff Lynne, and Giorgio Moroder, Electric Dreams captures the optimistic spirit and curiosity of the era. Its colorful visuals, imaginative storyline, and synth driven score make it stand out as a charming example of how 1980s films explored emerging technology with heart and humor.

Though not a major hit at the box office, Electric Dreams developed a cult following and is remembered fondly by fans of romantic sci-fi and retro tech nostalgia. It is one of those lesser known gems that perfectly represents the experimental storytelling style of the decade.

If you enjoy offbeat 80s movies with a creative twist, Electric Dreams 1984 is worth a watch.
