Max Headroom (1980s) Original Rolled Poster 26x76

Max Headroom is a groundbreaking sci-fi television series from the late 1980s set in a dystopian, media-obsessed future where television networks hold immense power. The story follows investigative reporter Edison Carter, played by Matt Frewer, who uncovers corporate corruption and dangerous conspiracies. After a near-fatal accident, Carter’s consciousness is digitally replicated into a glitchy, wisecracking AI version of himself—Max Headroom—who becomes both a pop culture icon and a voice of resistance against the system. Known for its satirical take on media control, cyberpunk aesthetics, and Frewer’s eccentric dual performance, the show became a cult classic that was ahead of its time in both style and commentary.
