Free Guy partially takes place in the open world video game Free City, which runs like a mashup between Fortnite, Grand Theft Auto, and The Sims. In that world, an non-playable character (or NPC) by the name of Guy (Ryan Reynolds) finds himself drawn into the most classic of predicaments: he wants to find more in life, and it ends up finding him. Through a chance meeting with Molotov Girl (Jodie Comer), our bank teller protagonist finds himself hearing Mariah Carey music and growing as a person – wanting to break out of all his normal routines. Unfortunately, this couldn’t happen at a worse moment, as in the real world the programmer who plays as Molotov Girl, Millie (Comer), is trying to save Guy and his world from some very real drama on her side of the screen.
