Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac and Alicia Vikander star in this AI thriller, where a young programmer is caught in a lethal game of manipulation between creator and creation.

Caleb Smith (Gleeson), a programmer at an internet-search giant, wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company's brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Isaac). Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test—charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan's latest experiment in artificial intelligence. That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking AI whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated—and more deceptive—than the two men could have imagined.
