Abstract: Since its development after the 2008 crisis, the concept of Smart City has constantly raised economic, sociological and ethical questions. The promises of this all-digital city no longer make people dream and even push some to resist and oppose, sometimes successfully, these urban projects. But how to explain these negative or even dystopian representations and beliefs to urban projects that have not yet "come out of the ground"? By supporting the idea that the images and stories delivered simultaneously and widely in society can be at the origin of the construction of social representations and beliefs, this communication seeks to identify what are the images of life in a digital future which are conveyed by cultural productions and in particular cinematographic productions (Touzani and Hirschman, 2019). For this, a chronological and thematic analysis of 40 years of science fiction films highlighting a digital future is carried out and the main "images" of the connected city (smart city), of its users (smart people) and of technology are identified and discussed.
