Elliot, portrayed by Rami Malek in an Emmy-winning performance, is a socially withdrawn and deeply conflicted individual. He suffers from anxiety, depression, and a dissociative disorder that causes him to have conversations with an enigmatic character named Mr. Robot, played by Christian Slater. Together, they lead a revolution against corrupt corporations and the financial system, aiming to bring down the world’s largest conglomerate, E Corp (also known as Evil Corp in Elliot’s mind).
