SIMULANT

A humanoid AI’s attempt to win over a widow’s heart places it in the path of a government agent trying to stop the rise of machine consciousness.

About the Film

The laws governing androids dictate that owners must deactivate unwanted Simulants (SIMS). But since FAYE (Jordana Brewster) already pulled the plug on her late husband, she can’t bring herself to do the same to EVAN (Robbie Amell), his android counterpart – even after she realizes her relationship with him is only prolonging her grief. Instead of deactivating Evan, Faye sets him up in an apartment to live illegally on his own. While there he meets Casey (Simu Liu), a brilliant programmer who helps him become more human in order to win Faye back. Unbeknownst to Evan, his new friend is wanted for questioning by a determined Artificial Intelligence Compliance Enforcement (AICE) agent Kessler (Sam Worthington). Evan has to win over Faye’s heart before they are both discovered and he loses everything.
