Tech-noir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tech-noir is a hybrid genre of film or other works of fiction combining the film noir and cyberpunk genres such as seen in Blade Runner (1982) and The Terminator (1984). It is a form of Neo-noir concentrating more on science fiction themes. The term was coined in The Terminator as the name of a nightclub, Tech Noir. The director James Cameron wanted a name for the particular style he was invoking.
