The Machine
They rise. We fall.
Directed by Caradog W. James
Produced by Red & Black Films
A tense sci-fi thriller about the dangers of unchecked AI and military ambition, set in a bleak Cold War dystopia where a programmer's creation spirals beyond his control.
Already deep into a second Cold War, Britain’s Ministry of Defense seeks a game-changing weapon. Programmer Vincent McCarthy unwittingly provides an answer in The Machine, a super-strong human cyborg. When a programming bug causes the prototype to decimate his lab, McCarthy takes his obsessive efforts underground, far away from inquisitive eyes.
