Techno thrillers are a hybrid genre. They can use aspects of sci-fi, thrillers and action to tell the story. The film can have aliens, robots and advanced weapons in it, they usually contain technology that isn't currently available in modern day society, but in this genre of films it is usually this technology that dominates the film and fights back to try and beat the protagonist/s. Examples of techno thrillers are: I, robot , The terminator and Aliens.
The image on the left is another example of a techno thriller: Blade runner. The image clearly shows that it is set in the future as the futuristic buildings take up half of the poster and the lights are low key and create to a dark atmosphere. The male in the poster is holding a gun looking away as if to say that he is ready to fight whatever technology has to offer him and it is up to him to save the human race.
