Neon District is a 2022 American animated action/adventure/sci-fi/thriller film produced by New Line Cinema and ROBLOX Studios and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is the second film in the ROBLOX Game Cinematic Universe.
Synopsis
The Watch and the Syndicate have been in war for a very long time, struggling due to their creative differences and opposing intentions. A Wonderer named Edgar is situated in the middle of a flame war between the head Watch officials and the head Syndicate officials and tries to escape the Neon District to avoid any more consequences. Meanwhile, a group of scientists create a peacekeeping droid named Contrast, which was intentionally created to help settle the creative differences between the Watch and the Syndicate, but instead of maintaining peace, Contrast intends to erase the population of the Neon District, starting with the Watch and the Syndicate. At first, everyone believes Contrast intends to do good, until it starts to recklessly damage property and kill innocent beings. Edgar believes this is just a rumor to help people keep their minds off of politics and the Watch-Syndicate war, but then realizes that this is a life or death situation. With the help of two other Wonderers named Sarah and Kai, Edgar attempts to take on Contrast to potentially end the war with the Watch and the Syndicate as well as rising the position of the Wonderers to a more globally recognized organization.

Connections with future films
Mad City
- Edgar's parents escaped the Neon District to go to Mad City because of the Watch-Syndicate war when he was very young, and Edgar was sent to live with his grandparents in a rundown condo. On the way to Mad City, however, an explosive was fired at the plane, which caused it to explode, killing everyone in the plane including Edgar's parents. It is revealed that the main antagonist of the Mad City movie, Dr. Kaboom, was the one who set off the explosion (which is explained in the Mad City movie, not this movie).
- Edgar has a poster of the Mad Defenders (the superhero team of Mad City) in his apartment.
Phantom Forces
- During a mid-credits scene, a giant helicopter arrives in the center of the Neon District, revealing to be the members of the Phantom Forces. They congratulate Edgar, Sarah, and Kai for defeating Contrast and ending the Watch-Syndicate war. They also recruit the three of them to join the Phantom Forces, which they happily accept.
