Synopsis: Johnny Depp (Golden Globe Award® winner- Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street) stars in Wally Pfister's (Oscar Award® winner – cinematographer for Inception) directorial debut as Dr. Will Caster, a foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

Caster is working to establish a world where computers can transcend the abilities of the human brain. These sentient machines combine the collective intelligence of everything ever known, along with the full range of human emotions. These controversial experiments have made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists; however in their attempt to destroy Caster, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his fellow researchers, his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall – Vicky Christina Barcelona) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany – The Avengers), the question is not if they can...but if they should. Their worst fears are realized as Caster's thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.

This thriller, revealing the secrets to building super intelligence, also stars Cillian Murphy (The Dark Knight) and Morgan Freeman (Invictus).
