Ex Machina
There is nothing more human than the will to survive.
Directed by Alex Garland
Produced by DNA Films, Film4 Productions
A cerebral, paranoia-soaked thriller that uses artificial intelligence and isolation to interrogate consciousness, manipulation, and the blurred line between human and machine.
Caleb, a coder at the world's largest internet company, wins a competition to spend a week at a private mountain retreat belonging to Nathan, the reclusive CEO of the company. But when Caleb arrives at the remote location he finds that he will have to participate in a strange and fascinating experiment in which he must interact with the world's first true artificial intelligence, housed in the body of a beautiful robot girl.
