The last decade has seen an increase in Hollywood productions of cyberpunk films. These films, designed as remakes or sequels, appeal to both old fans of the cult original films and new audiences. The subject of this research is how the remakes, which aim to guarantee the box office undergo changes and how they fit into the system compared to the originals. In the research, it has been attempted to reveal how these change narratives have been integrated into current policies and the system compared to the originals, and to determine and show in which contexts this transformation of the remakes took place and what this effect serves. For this purpose, the progress of remakes was examined, the originals and remakes of Total Recall (original 1990, remake 2012) and Ghost in the Shell (original 1995, remake 2017) were discussed with the help of narrative analysis and their ideological and economy-political functions were periodically compared.
