This isn't exactly sci-fi but it's pretty good.

Picard plays Macbeth, set in modern settings with updated language
so it's easier to understand, but I recommend watching it with the
volume turned down while playing Rush 2112 & A Farewell to Kings.

The imagery reminds me of the movie "Across The Universe". It even
has nurses running around in uniforms similar to what Salma Hayak
wore but not as revealing. Shakespeare set in modern times with
modern weapons.

I don't know, but I'll bet you can find a torrent for it.

Battles fought, traitors & allies, who can you trust? Bombs falling
above bunkers deep underground.

Nowt really unusual here... Patrick Stewart was a shakespearian actor before
he became captain of the enterprise or head of the CIA in american dad...
