Product Description
Sci-fi thriller directed by Wally Pfister and starring Johnny Depp. Dr.
Will Caster (Depp) is one of the leading scientists in the world due to
his pioneering work in creating sentient artificial intelligence.
However, with fame and success comes the attention of a technophobic
extremist group seeking to put an end to his work before he creates
something beyond human control. When Caster is shot by a member of the
group and falls victim to radiation poisoning, there is no hope for his
survival. With the help of his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and friend
Max (Paul Bettany) he decides to continue his latest project by linking
his mind with that of the computer and creating technology more
intelligent than the collective capability of the entire human race.
While his earthly body dies, Caster's mind is fully embedded within the
computer and he soon begins to exercise the potential of his
newly-gained power. But with this power comes great destruction which
threatens the future of mankind...
