Set in a near-future Los Angeles, a new thriller plunges audiences into a justice system where human judgment has been entirely replaced by artificial intelligence. The story centers on a police officer who awakens to find himself the prime suspect in a horrific personal tragedy, with only minutes to save himself from a digital verdict.
The film unfolds in real time, creating a tense, ticking-clock scenario. The protagonist, a detective celebrated for an early victory under the new automated courts, is abruptly arrested for a crime he cannot remember. Confronted by an impassive holographic judge, he is granted a mere hour and a half to scour the city’s vast network of surveillance data and personal records to uncover the truth.
While delivering slick action and clever narrative turns, the movie explores the perils of delegating profound moral decisions to algorithms. The central courtroom dynamic—a desperate man pleading his case to an unfeeling, glitch-prone program—becomes a high-stakes drama of human intuition versus cold logic. The plot builds to a frenetic climax that questions whether any system, human or machine, is truly infallible.
This science-fiction entry blends procedural suspense with sharp commentary on technology and accountability, posing urgent questions about the world we might soon inhabit.
