Transcendence is a 2014 dystopian post-cyberpunk science fiction action/drama/thriller movie starring Johnny Depp with artificial intelligence and mind uploading as its central themes.
Plot[править]
Will Caster is a renowned and successful artificial intelligence scientist with a high-profile public presence and agenda. His endeavours earned him fame as well as unwanted attention from an anti-technology movement called R.I.F.T., which is led by a person named Bree, who believes Caster's technology will do extremely more harm than good.
His need to complete his technology is advanced when the acts of terrorist would-be assassins lead him to the brink of death. The only thing left for him to do to save his life—or, at least his consciousness—is to merge with his AI and 'transcend' before he dies.
Caster must also later battle with government forces who want to stop him.
